Castle Air Museum
5050 Santa Fe Drive
Merced, CA, 95301
Residents of Modesto apartments who are air enthusiasts will love the Castle Air Museum. Its preservation of the fighter airplanes of World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam Conflict brings a sense of commitment to the US armed forces. Castle Air Museum apartment residents can reach out and touch many of these planes on display, and even climb around on a few of them. In addition to all the aircraft is an indoor museum where you can see many photos of airplanes in action and view war time memorabilia including uniforms, flags, maps and paintings. At least fifty planes are on display for people who live in Castle Air Museum apartments to see, and on top of that number are several additional "hidden" airplanes. These are held in hangars because they are fabric covered as was the custom of many aircraft of that day and this material just does not stand up to the San Joaquin Valley weather. A full time restoration department is responsible for finding planes to restore and then adding them to the compilation. Of the nearly 500,000 planes built from 1939 to 1945, so few remain for people who live in Modesto apartments to view. It is a goal of the museum to restore and show as many as possible. Your admission price of $10 for adults and $8 for youth goes toward fulfilling that goal. While as a resident of Castle Air Museum apartments you may not have an RV, for your family and visitors who do have one there is an RV park on the site. Occasional flying events are a thrill for the entire family and friends, so check the website and visit this weekend.
