Castle Air Museum is a military aviation museum located in Atwater, California, United States adjacent to Castle Airport, a former United States Air Force Strategic Air Command base which was closed in 1995, after the end of the Cold War. It is one of the largest aerospace museums displaying vintage aircraft in the western United States.
From solo visits to docent-led group and school tours, the Castle Air Museum is the perfect venue to immerse yourself in military aviation history.
Castle Air Museum represents history in a way the whole family can share with our awe-inspiring majestic warbirds. To stand under the wing of the Convair RB-36H Peacemaker or the Boeing B-52, you can imagine the sky around the bombers filled with enemy fighters!
The museum explores this heritage both in its outdoor aircraft displays and in an indoor museum where visitors can see a fascinating collection of war-time memorabilia, including an outstanding array of Army Air Corps and Air Force uniforms, and the once top-secret Norden Bomb Sight.
The Castle Air Museum is impressive with its huge collection of pristine military jets, planes, helicopters, and base history. There's even a decommissioned nuke on display. My family and I came here specifically for the SR-71, and we would have been satisfied just seeing that plane and going home, LOL.
The facility was renamed Castle Air Force Base on January 13, 1948 as part of the establishment of the United States Air Force as a separate military service. Castle is named for Brigadier General Frederick W. Castle, who died on Dec. 24, 1944 flying his 30th bombing mission.
