The Kissimmee Air Museum is located at the Kissimmee Gateway Airport in Kissimmee, Florida. It houses vintage aircraft from World War II to the Vietnam War including an outdoor showroom.[1] It is a working museum with restorations of vintage aircraft in progress.[1].
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.
