Pioneer Air Museum — Attraction in Fairbanks

Great and interesting collection, every piece tells its story. Many models and historic objects. Friendly and knowledgable staff. They normally open during Summer. If you visit during off season, call them ahead of time. They might be able to specially open for you (just like me). Even though the museum looks a bit small comparing to the number of shown objects, it is packed with aviation history. Many of them are from previous aircraft accident. I highly recommend this museum for those who love aviation and those who study aircraft accident...

Seen the museum w/ the kids and they actually enjoyed it, thus i enjoyed it due to them. We all had a wonderful time... When i was a little kid w/ the elder brothers we use to climb the dimond-domed bldg. against security guards wishes, never did make it to the top. That was when they also had the tank transport outside across the walkway... Oh yeah there was a mid-sized plane there as well that they would allow kids to scamper all over... What-ever happened to that gadgettry, it was fun. We kids had all the Real Toys...

They had some really good exhibits- but they completely left Joe Crosson out- Joe Crosson and Gilliam found Eilsens wrecked plane in Siberia - Joe was known as the Mercy Pilot for his role in settling Alaska- leaving him out was a blatant move - and we were not happy- my husbands father, Lon Dean Crosson, was Joes first cousin- we came all the way from Atlanta to follow Joes time here- very disappointed!! Joe Crosson’s archive collection is the largest at the Rasmussen Library- you need to spend some time...
