Air Combat Museum

The Air Combat Museum is an aviation museum located at the Abraham Lincoln Capital Airport in Springfield, Illinois.

History
After learning about World War II aircraft as a child, Mike George, the son of George Alarm Company founder Donald J. George, bought his first warbird, a T-34 in the 1980s. He purchased another airplane, a P-51D, in 1989 and founded the museum together with his father the same year in a 10,000 sqft hangar.

The museum built a 3,000 sqft addition around 2013. It expanded again circa 2021, adding another 20,000 sqft and allowing the museum to consolidate the collection from seven hangars to one.
