Located near the wonderful Waypoint Cafe at the Camarillo Airport, this museum and the associated wing of the Commemorative Air Force have a treasure trove of old warbirds still flying! We made the requested donation and were hosted by a very knowledgeable and personable docent. (Not sure if the docents are there during the week.) As luck would have it, a memorial service for a World War II vet was in progress, so we got to see a couple of the old planes do a missing man formation! More recently, we were at the café and got to see a four-plane formation do a flyover. Even if you dont catch a flyover, seeing the planes and watching the men restoring them is fascinating. They even have one of five Japanese Zeros still in existence. Up until a few years ago, Japan didnt even have one! You get to board a World War II cargo plane, as well as a helicopter. The museum itself has a number of amazing World War II artifacts, uniforms, recruiting posters, etc. And there is a great little gift shop. Im fortunate enough to live in Camarillo, so I take all my visitors to the café and the museum. Nobody is ever disappointed.

Awsome planes but theres a weird little old man who has a bad attitude and will tell you about his dipressing life and how hes done nothing and how atleast his daughter is in the military... I gave him a tip and he didnt even thank me... look around but dont ask for those lame tours!

My wife and I were here a few years ago and the staff was friendly and helpful. The vintage planes were outstanding and the historical exhibits were intriguing. If youre in the area do yourself a favor and drop by. You wont regret it.
