- Welcome
- The War Eagles Air Museum is dedicated to
collecting, restoring
and displaying historic aircraft of the World War
II and the Korean Conflict eras. This unique
Museum pays special tribute to military aviation
and reminds us all of the significant role these
airplanes, their pilots and support crews played
in securing our freedom.
To demonstrate the sights and sounds of these high-powered machines, most of this magnificent collection is maintained in flying condition. These aircraft provide public enjoyment while in actual flight. The museum features various educational programs, exhibits and special events that help preserve our heritage and promote pride in our country.
As you tour through the spacious 54,000 Sq. ft. display building you will discover the warbirds of the World War II era, and jet fighters used in the Korean Conflict, and later. These include some of the famous fighters such as the P-51 Mustang, the P-38 Lightning, the P-40 Warhawk, F4U-4 Corsair, plus a twin-engine Invader bomber, a DC-3 transport and a German observation aircraft, the Fieseler Storch. Among the jets built in the 1950s, you will find an F-86 Sabre, a T-33 Silver star and Mig-15s. Also, you will enjoy several antique automobiles.
The War Eagles Air Museum is located at the Santa Teresa Airport in Santa Teresa, New Mexico. Only 12 miles from downtown El Paso, off of Interstate 10 West at the Mesa exit #11.

| George Stringam Coaldale, Alberta |  Toured the place a couple of weeks ago 03/17/09 and was amazed. I always wanted to see planes like the P-40 and the F-4U in the flesh and I got my chance. Very worthwhile and worth another trip. And I hope not to lose my cellphone there next time. 03/28/2009 @ 07:57 [ref: 8761] |
| Richard Foust El Paso, Texas | I spent a fine Saturday touring the museum with my class from the University of Texas El Paso and found it to be a first class place that did a great job presenting these wonderfully retored aircraft. The historical value of this museum cannot be overstated. Thanks for a great day. 09/23/2008 @ 09:57 [ref: 8429] |
| David Cundall Doncaster Yorkshire UK, Yukon Territory | Dear Madam/Sir, I am involved in a group to recover many buried crated Spitfire aircraft in Burma. These aircraft were buried by the CBs in 1945 at varios airfield in Burma. Does your organisation have any more infomation on this subject. 07/29/2008 @ 22:04 [ref: 8290] |
| Al Amato Baytown, Texas | I visited this museum in January of 2006. It's very well done with plenty of warbirds and related displays. I had a nice chat with a volunteer there who was a WWII vet who flew on a B17. He was a bombadier (I think) and saved a safety wire (from the bomb fuse)from every mission he flew and tagged them with the date and target. He told me of an elderly German man that had come in and stared at his collection. The reason was that one of 'em was the town where the gentleman's family lived during WWII. This is living history. Well worth the trip over there. There are a bunch of nice old cars there also, so I satisfied two hobbies at the same museum. 02/15/2007 @ 17:56 [ref: 5621] |
