Highlights of Wings Over Miami Air Museum

The Wings Over Miami Air Museum was started to fill the void left when the Weeks Air Museum was moved after the exhibits sustained significant damage during Hurricane Andrew in 1992. In 2001, 4 local aviation enthusiasts came together and decided to use the space for a new museum.

The new museum’s creators agreed that the museum would amass a collection of airworthy aircraft that could be regularly flown. The founders also worked hard to collect a large range of planes from throughout the history of aviation from vintage civilian aircraft to military planes.
