What Our

Visitors Are Saying

I would like to personally thank you and your staff for arranging a tour of the Peterson Air and Space Museum for the senior leadership of the Marine Corps Judge Advocate community. We were impressed with both your facilities and the tours that we received. Thank you again for your efforts. They truly enhanced our conference.

TODAY IN U.S. AIR FORCE HISTORY: 1968 - Lockheed test pilot Bernie J. Dvorscak flew the XV-4B Hummingbird II vertical and short take-off and landing (VSTOL) aircraft on a 28-minute maiden flight from Dobbins Air Force Base, Georgia .

Here, the two XV-4A Hummingbirds are shown together on the ramp at the then Lockheed-Georgia Company facility in Marietta, Georgia, circa 1963. The U.S. Air Force became interested in the Hummingbird and the second prototype was modified (with six engines!) and designated XV-4B.

🛰🛰🛰Space is the Place!🚀🚀🚀#IYKYK | Looking up at the night sky can be awe-inspiring, but did you know that space weather can also have a big impact on our planet?

Solar flares and coronal mass ejections can cause disruptions to communication systems and even power grids. The Space Force and Space Operations Command work closely with space weather experts to inform the DoD, and its assets, when it comes to operating in the space domain. It is important we factor in what we know and what we can predict to our regular decision making process. 🚀🌌 #spaceweather #NASA #NOAA #explore #science #technology #ViaVincimus
