The Arkansas Air & Military Museum is an aviation and military museum located at Drake Field in Fayetteville, Arkansas. It is the largest aviation museum in Arkansas.
The Arkansas Air & Military Museum's collection of aircraft largely dates to the 1920s and 1930s, many of which were racing aircraft, as well as military aircraft dating from World War I, World War II, and the Vietnam War. It includes a Boeing-Stearman NS2S (PT-17), a Curtiss-Wright CW-1 Junior, a Dassault Falcon 20, a Douglas A-4 Skyhawk, a Howard DGA-11, a Howard DGA-18K, a Learjet 23, a Piper Tri-Pacer, a Stinson Junior, and a Travel Air Model R "Mystery Ship" replica; the museum also houses a variety of helicopters, including a Bell AH-1S Cobra, a Bell UH-1H Huey, and a Piasecki H-21C Shawnee. The museum also displays Walmart founder Sam Walton's first aircraft, an Ercoupe 415C, which although privately owned is on loan to the museum. Many of the museum's aircraft are still airworthy, and its Stinson Junior provides flights to the general public.
