The museum is inside an active military base. Bring photo ID and confirm access before visiting. Free guided aircraft tours are available on Saturday mornings by prior arrangement, with a minimum of four visitors.

Opening hours
The official Air Force website lists Wednesday–Friday, 07:00–15:00, and Saturday, 08:30–12:00. The Friends of the Museum publish somewhat different general hours, so visitors should confirm before travelling.
