Museum building

The highlight of the display on the ground floor of the museum is a NAMC YS-11 formerly operated by Japan Air Commuter.
Other displays concentrate on the history of aviation, including a full-scale model of the Wright Flyer and of the Miss Veedol, the first aircraft to make a successful nonstop transpacific flight, which originated from Misawa's Sabishiro Beach in 1931. Other full-scale models include that of a Mitsubishi A6M Zero, Tachikawa Ki-54 and the Gasuden Koken, as well as a McDonnell Douglas DC-9 cockpit.
The second floor of the museum has flight simulators and displays on aerospace engineering and the third floor is an observation deck with a view of the runways of Misawa Air Base.
