Exhibits at the Empire State Aerosciences Museum
The outside Air Park includes an extensive collection of over 20 aircraft, including a Northop F-5 Tiger used in the movie “Top Gun”. The main galleries contain detailed models, dioramas, historical artifacts, memorabilia, and photographic displays. The Museum also contains some hands-on exhibits including a mock-up of a 1910 Von Pomer airplane, electronic “spotter” aircraft identification, and a Simulated Reality Vehicle (SRV), which treats occupants to a video and “ride” that makes them feel as if they are part of the action.
