Q:
Hi, I'd really love to bring my Grandpa here but I have some questions about walking requirements and wheelchair access. He walks short distances with a cane but longer distances will require him to be in a wheelchair. If there's nothing he hates more than the wheelchair it's trying to use it in a place where the "exhibit" or whatever everyone else is looking at isn't fully visible from his POV. Obviously, the planes should be big enough in this context just hoping for some insight ahead of our arrival. Thank YOU!

If your grandpa likes WWII history, he should really enjoy this museum. As for getting around, He should have no problems, There are two handicapped spaces within a few feet of the entrance. The floor space is very open and I don't recall any part of the museum that he wouldn't be able to maneuver a wheelchair around to see all sides of the planes and motor vehicles. Its relatively small and can be done in an hour if you wand. But you may get hooked up with a docent who will happily talk your ears off if you let them. Most of the aircraft are still in flyable condition, so there are oil pans under the engines, but again there is plenty of space to go around.

Q:
Can you walk to the museum from the John Wayne Airport?
A:
I do not believe this is possible. The airport entrance is on the other side of the runways. If you visit this museum, you will hopefully find it as interesting as I did.
