Fabuloso para entusiastas da aviação, ideal para tem uma conexão longa em ATL. Mesmo sendo anexo ao aeroporto Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson, a única de maneira de chegar ao Delta Flight Museum é de carro, taxi ou ônibus linha 192. Já para aqueles hospedados no Hilton Atlanta Airport, basta uma caminha de 290 metros. O museu apresenta um acervo pequeno quando comparado aos grandes museus de aviação mundiais, mas pensando em um museu de uma cia aérea privada, a coleção impressiona! Todas as aeronaves expostas estão em ótimo estado de conservação, dentre elas, duas merecem um destaque especial: O 767, matricula N102DA, ou simplesmente “The Spirit of Delta” um icônico 767-200 doado a Delta por seus funcionários durante a crise de 1982; ao longo do anos o N102DA foi o embaixador nos céus e a aeroportos, divulgado o espirito da empresa e o engajamento de seus funcionários. O segundo e não menos icônico, é o N661US, primeiro 747-400 fabricado pela Boeing, vou pela primeira vez em 29 de abril de 1988 como protótipo de lançamento, sob a matricula N401PW, em dezembro de 1989 foi entregue a Northwest Airlines, recebendo a segunda e atual matricula N661US. Em 2002, cumprindo o voo NW 85 Detroit - Tóquio, sobre o Mar de Bering, o 747 sofreu uma pane grave na superfície móvel do estabilizador vertical, os pilotos, demostrando extrema habilidade salvaram todos a bordo, através de um improvável pouso de emergência perfeito em Anchorade no Alasca, inclusive existe um episodio da serie “May Day” sob o titulo de “Turning Point” dedicado a esse incidente. Em 2008, com fusão da Northwest com a Delta, o N661US passou a voar pela cia de Atlanta até 2016 quando foi retirado da frota e preservado no Delta Flight Museum, onde protagoniza o 747 Experience, que na pratica trata-se da visitação interna e externa da aeronave. Além destes dois gigantes, existem outras aeronaves, coleções de uniformes, fotografias, equipamentos de aeroporto e itens diversos. Dentre os itens em exposição, o museu destaca uma rocha Brasileira Ametista presenteada pela eterna pioneira, a VARIG (Viação Aérea Rio-Grandense), em celebração ao acordo comercial celebrado em 8 de março de 1994.

Im quite surprised this museum received lower ratings on TripAdvisor. I loved it. As an aviation enthusiast, I was in heaven. As you enter the parking lot of the museum, youre greeted by two Delta jets; 757 and MD80. Once inside, theres a DC-3 and a 767 (Spirit of Delta). The 767 was bought by its employees. Youre able to go inside of the 767 but not the DC-3. The 767 has a lot of memorabilia and vintage flight attendant uniforms from all the airlines that have merged to make Delta what it is today. Throughout the museum are great photos, information, videos, and interactive touch screens one can enjoy. Delta really plays tribute to all the airlines in its history that were merged over the years to form the company. For a BIG extra fee, theres a flight simulator you can go in. The Delta Flight Museum website will give you all the information you need (price and length of simulation). I believe the price is over $300. Afterwards, have some more fun in the gift shop. My credit card certainly did!

A must-see for any aviation enthusiast in Atlanta. Indoors, there are planes from Deltas early history, including an immaculate DC-3 and a 767 in the other hangar which has been converted into exhibit space. And then there are all sorts of other little goodies - flight attendant uniforms, old brochures, and everything else youd find on a historic airliner. It really makes you feel like you were there. Outside, across the parking lot, is the first 747-400 ever built! You can go inside to see the first class cabin and a cutaway showing just how massive the hull is.

If you even just have a little interest in aviation history this place is for you. A little tough to actually get to from the airport without a car, as cabs and uber are only really easy to get at the secure gate area not the front door but well worth it. Just to see everything you need at least 2 hours. There are also kid activities and since its rarely crowded its not bad. I was able to squeeze it in during a 5 hour layover in ATL so it can be done but you have to manage your time.

I went on a discounted day, so I only paid $7.50 - well worth it at that price, at $15 maybe not so much but its not a terrible fee either way. Interesting place, kinda #HailCorporate but that was expected. Parking is weird, and it is NOT clearly marked on how to get out of the Delta campus! I had to sneak out of a gate behind someone else...lol. Anyway, cool museum if you like planes and aviation in general. Flight simulator Im sure is amazing but its $425 per session, yikes!

The delta flight museum is such a great places to visit. It tell you about the history about delta airlines. They have airplanes like the spirit of delta boeing 767-200, delta 747-400 and many more airplanes. I have been to the delta flight museum since august 2014 and I have always enjoyed it. Every year I take one visit to the delta flight museum and next year look forward to seeing the 747 and taking a tour of it since I have never been inside a 747.

This museum wont disappoint you! If youre an aviation enthusiast who appreciates history, then its worth your time to check out this impressive collection of airplanes, and artifacts of all kinds, relating to airline history! A newly renovated, beautifully-designed facility that is more "general public" friendly, and easy to access. The museum is housed in Deltas two original hangars that still stand in the midst of its World Headquarters.

Loved it and the kids loved it especially the ability to go into the Spirit of Delta plane that has so much historic significance for the Delta Air Lines. It was a great for the kids to understand the evolution of flight travel and to see the "luxury stylings" in the old planes. Very nostalgic and quite interactive. The museum store is hopefully going to evolve to have more aviation history instead of logoed t shirts and lanyards.

Aviation Fans: your winged bucket list must land here! See it all for $15 admission, but extras include Free guided tours on Tuesdays, $120 private tours, $450 60-min 737 Flight Sim Experience (Full Motion)! What is now Delta Airlines has been at the center of air transportation since the industrys beginning and you can see, touch and sit in the whole history at this wonderful museum!

Very fun and interesting place to visit! Ive never been on a plane so it was amazing stepping into one and getting that close. Little kids will love it being that close to an airplane. Even if youre not into aviation its a very interesting place to visit. You can do a real simulation of flying that was used to train pilots up until 2014 or 15 for $425.

As an aviation lover, theres nothing better than getting to see many of your favorite planes and people, for free! If youre willing to down $15, the 747 experience is a must. And if youre willing to down $425, the 737 simulator is a MUST! Wonderful staff and great location! No hassle or tour bullcrap, just park and walk around your favorite airliners.

This is a great place to wander around if you have the time. A variety of aircraft from vintage to modern, along with plenty of airline memorabilia like uniforms, aircraft interiors, etc. I originally thought that the museum was owned and operated by Delta, but its a separate entity which relies on sponsors and donations, and volunteers.
