Visitors can explore a collection of planes, including the Spirit of Delta and the iconic 747, with the opportunity to walk inside some aircraft and experience the outer displays. One of the highlights is the virtual flight screen, where guests can choose destinations, experience a boarding process, and take photos, which can be picked up at the museum shop.
