The United States Army Aviation Museum is an aviation museum located on Fort Novosel near Daleville, Alabama. It has the largest collection of helicopters held by a museum in the world.

The museum has over 160 aircraft in its collection and holds 3,000 historical items.

History

The museum announced plans to raise money to build a new structure to replace the wooden buildings in which it was housed in 1977.

The museum broke ground on a new building called the William A. Howell Training Support Facility in November 2019, which will not be open to the public. The new building opened on 12 April 2024.
