Flying Tigers Warbird Museum
Tom Reilly's Flying Tigers Warbird Restoration Museum is situated on Kissimmee Municipal airfield
and is at the north end of the airfield at the end of taxiway 'Charlie'. This Museum is a complete anomaly in the
aviation Museum world. While there are plenty of beautifully preserved and fully functional military aircraft to
see, the real action here is in the numerous restoration projects on-going all around. Unlike facilities where the
workshops are off limits or cordoned off from visitors, here the Museum is actually in the workshop.
