Field Trip to Fort Worth Aviation Museum

https://fortworthaviationmuseum.com/

This was an excellent field trip.  If you buy tickets online, it's cheaper than in person.  It's $9 for an adult ticket and $4 for children.  There's a small inside portion with a flight simulator game, a cockpit your child can sit in, an ejection seat and lots of displays and model aircraft.  Outside the building is where all of the aircraft displayed.  The website has a list of what aircraft the museum has on display.  There's an F-14 Tomcat, a small tank, a number of helicopters (including a troop carrier that you can go inside), vintage propeller airplanes, a Harrier, etc.  The museum has over 30 aircraft on display.

This was a very enjoyable field trip, especially since we took a group of boys.  They were running from aircraft to aircraft and the adults had a hard time keeping up with them.
