The Museum’s Aviation Pavilion is an outdoor exhibit space housing over twenty of our helicopter/planes and other experimental vehicles. Some highlights of this pavilion are Army One, the VH-34C Choctaw Presidential helicopter, which flew President Kennedy and the only remaining UH-1 that made the first helicopter flight to the South Pole. It also houses the Army’s experimental “flying cars” – GEM 2X hovercar and the Air Jeep II are just some of the fascinating vehicles on display.
