Museum
Displays Off-Base that are Open to Visitors
We
have three locations off-base that are open to visitors year round. West Gate The
first is just outside the West Gate entrance to Edwards AFB and is accessible any
day of the week. Referred to as Century Circle, it features six Air Force
aircraft that make up the ‘Century Series’ fighters; the F-100, F-101, F-102,
F-104, F-105 and F-106. There is also a YC-15 transport aircraft on exhibit. No
special pass or permission is required to visit this display area and parking and
restrooms are provided for your convenience. To visit the Century Circle display,
take exit 55 (Edwards AFB) off Highway 14 and head east for 10.5 miles.
North Gate Located just outside of our North Gate, exit 186
(Edwards AFB) on Highway 58, is NB-52B, tail number 52-0008. This B-52 aircraft
was flown by NASA for many years to test other aircraft like the X-15, HL-10,
and the hypersonic X-43. Parking is provided. For more information on this very
