Lyon Air Museum
Founded by Major General William Lyon, the Lyon Air Museum has some of the rarest operational aircraft and vehicles on exhibit anywhere. The Museum recently opened on the west side of John Wayne Airport in Orange County and exhibits authentic aircraft, rare vehicles and related memorabilia, with emphasis on the defining event of the 20th century – World War II. On display is a B-17 Flying Fortress, which once ferried generals Dwight Eisenhower and Douglas MacArthur, as well as a DC-3, which dropped members of the Army's 101st Airborne Division into France on D-day.
