The tour takes you all around the base by bus and on the flight line. You
see a short video on the base and it's history. There is a 45 minute stop
at the Air Force Flight Test Center Museum. This tour is the only way the
public can view this wonderful museum on the history of flight. The tour
takes you to NASA where you eat at the base cafeteria for lunch.
Unfortunately due to cuts in funding NASA no longer provides any tours of
information. |
