The Commemorative Air Force seeks to preserve a flying example of every aircraft from WWII, and the Arizona Wing is home to some of the most famous airplanes of the era, including the B-17G Flying Fortress Sentimental Journey (still in flying condition after all these years). The Arizona Wing has also recently completed the restoration of a B-25J Mitchell. The museum houses historic aircraft and plays host to special exhibits honoring the stories and legacy of those who served in U.S. Military aviation. Popular exhibits include the Chow Hound exhibit, a tribute to the Tuskegee Airmen, Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASPs), Enemy Artifacts, and a memorial honoring the fallen.
