TypeVintage Aircraft

The Kissimmee Air Museum was located at the Kissimmee Gateway Airport in Kissimmee, Florida. It housed vintage aircraft from World War II to the Vietnam War including an outdoor showroom.[1] It was a working museum that restored vintage aircraft.[1] In 2021, the Kissimmee Air Museum closed when the associated Warbird Adventures, Inc moved their operation to Ninety Six, South Carolina.[citation needed]

When the Flying Tigers Warbird Restoration Museum closed in 2004 due to Hurricane Charley, Warbird Adventures, Inc. saw a need for a museum and opened the Kissimmee Air Museum in 2007.
