The RoadsideAmerica.com website describes this museum best and reads:
An awesome array of about 300 aircraft, mock-ups of several spacecraft, and related exhibits, a must see for aviation buffs of any age. Near exit 267 off Hwy 10, at the south edge of Davis-Monthan AFB. Multiple buildings house restored aircraft -- many are WWII-era, US fighters, bombers, helicopters, even some Russian MIGs. To see it all, allow three hours and plan on walking a mile or more through several hangars and a substantial number of outdoor exhibits.
See a B-25, a B-29 like the ones that dropped the first atom bombs, a B-52 rigged to carry the X-15 rocket plane aloft, a Harrier jump-jet capable of vertical takeoffs, landings, and hovering, and see the awesome SR-71 Blackbird spy plane.
The hangars have volunteers around to answer questions; hats off to those nice folks! Join a tour or wander by yourself.
The Davis-Monthan Boneyard tour is located at Davis-Monthan AFB and requires a tour sign-up at designated times and is not affiliated with the museum.
