Aviation museum set to reopen this weekend in west Charlotte

CHARLOTTE — Charlotte’s reimagined aviation museum is nearly ready for takeoff.

After more than five years of being grounded by renovations, the Sullenberger Aviation Museum is set to reopen this Saturday in west Charlotte.

The museum opens Saturday at 4108 Minuteman Way which is on the north side of the runway at Charlotte Douglas.

The museum will be open from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and 12 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Sunday. The museum is closed on Mondays.

Admission costs $24 for adults, $20 for seniors, military and educators, and $18 for children ages 5-17. Kids younger than five are admitted free. Tickets for Saturday’s grand opening are sold out.
