The museum features the Southwest's premier collection of meticulously restored historic aircraft - WWII to Vietnam Conflict eras War Eagles Air Museum features one of the largest collections of historic military and civilian aircraft, classic automobiles, and aviation and automotive artifacts in the Southwest. Many of the 36 World War II, Korean War and Vietnam-era aircraft on display are of great historical significance. Inside the huge exhibit hanger (an enclosed area as big as a football field), you’ll take a trip back in time as you stroll among the professionally restored American, British, German and Soviet aircraft. We maintain many of them in flyable condition. If you’re lucky, you may see and hear an engine runup or a test flight. We also have 49 American, British, German, Japanese and Italian automobiles from days gone by, and several U.S. military vehicles, many of which are drivable. In addition to marveling at the beautiful condition and historical importance of the aircraft and automobiles on display, you can spend hours examining our hundreds of other artifacts—engines, instruments, weapons, photographs, documents, newspaper clippings, uniforms, scale models and more.

Meet the LTV A-7E Corsair II, an aircraft built for precision and the demanding world of U.S. Navy carrier operations.

In May 1970, the A-7E flew its first combat missions over Vietnam. With an improved engine and onboard electronics, this version of the Corsair II brought new capabilities to naval aviation.

Behind every mission were pilots, maintenance crews and flight deck teams working together to keep these aircraft ready. Its story reaches beyond the cockpit to the people who made each flight possible.

Today, the Corsair II at War Eagles Air Museum offers a closer look at that chapter of aviation history.

Discover the A-7E Corsair II and the history behind its wings.
