Hill Aerospace Museum is a military aviation museum located at Hill Air Force Base in Roy, Utah. It is dedicated to the history of the base and aviation in Utah.
History
Preparations for a museum began in 1984, when ground was broken on an "Aerospace Park and Museum".[3][a] The museum itself opened in 1987 in a World War II warehouse. In 1991, a new 9,600 sq ft (890 m2) administration building and 36,000 sq ft (3,300 m2) hangar were dedicated.[5]
The museum recovered a number of aircraft wrecks, including a B-24, B-26, P-38, and P-40 from Alaska in the mid-1990s.[6][7][8][9][b]
In 1996, the museum became the home of the Utah Aviation Hall of Fame.[11] In 1997, it was alleged that seven years prior a number of artifacts and a C-131 were removed from the museum without authorization.[12]
The museum grew again in 1999, when a second display hangar was opened as the Lindquist-Stewart Fighter Gallery.[5] A mezzanine was added to the first hangar, now renamed the Hadley Gallery, the following year.[13][5] An exhibit about Women Airforce Service Pilots was opened in 2004.[14]
In 2014, the museum announced it would be removing 18 aircraft from its collection.[15] Large scale repainting of the exterior display aircraft took place in 2015, with 5 airplanes and 2 missiles being affected.[16] For the twentieth anniversary of its opening in 2016, the Utah Aviation Hall of Fame was renovated.[17]
The museum completed the conversion of a C-130 fuselage into a classroom in 2019.[18][19][20] The museum embarked on expansion in 2021, building a new restoration facility and receiving $12 million from the state for the construction of a third hangar.[21][22] At the same time, it was forced to announce plans to demolish its World War II barracks as it was too deteriorated to repair.[23] Ground was broken for the expansion in October 2022.[24]
The museum is also home to the Marc C. Reynolds Aerospace Center for Education, which is located inside a C-130 fuselage.[25]
In addition to its collection of aircraft, the museum also houses the Major General Rex A. Hadley Research Library and Archives, which contains technical and historical information related to the aircraft on display.[26]
Also onsite is the Col. Nathan H. Mazer Memorial Chapel.[27]

Awesome!
Thanks for watching!
Very nice Museum. I visited on July 2005.
Thank you! If you like the topic watch my Wendover airfield video. Thank you for watching!
All these museums are about 1200 miles from me so thank you.
You are welcome! More to come.
I was the Thursday volunteer receptionist for Hill Aerospace Museum for a decade. The place is always improving.
That is great! My next video will be the museum at the airfield in Wendover.
@@enthusiastwalkingtours1 I'd like to see that video. I have been to Wendover Field several times starting when there were just a few rooms in one building. They've done a lot of work out there and the expanded tour showcased someone's love for the T-33. Wendover Field charges for admission and may require permission to film for your blog, but if you pitch it as boosting attendance you might be okay. Lot of artifacts and scale models and mock-ups to see. My last visit was during the covid era and attendance was sparse.
I loved every minute!
Thanks I am glad you enjoyed.
I’ve Been TO That Museum For The First Time The P-38 Lightning Was One OF MY Most Favorite Twin Fuselage Fighters There Out OF Their Whole Entire Aircraft Collection When I Went Down There IN Utah
I am glad you enjoyed it. Make sure to watch my last video as well.
No B-58 Hustler? If I remember, it was assigned to Hill's bomber wing.
They are remodeling. Soon there will be another hangar open with even more planes. I will go back and film it. Thank you for watching.
very nice aerospace museum
Thank you! Many more museums to come. Thanks for watching.
I got all excited when you showed Jake Garn's flight & space suits but you did not look up at his Navion N51D, instead you filmed the hangar doors!! I have flown in 51D many times with Jake and I even got to land at Hill Airforce Base with Jake and his son in 51D for an airshow with the Thinderbirds.
I am sorry. Next time I go back I will film all of it. Thanks for watching. Thanks for your service.
You may enjoy my historic Wendover airfield video.
@enthusiastwalkingtours1 I used to fly MD 87s in and out of Wendover, I even had sex in the tower. And I was in the movie Mulholland Falls that was filmed at the airbase, then Independence Day and ConAir. My crash pad was actually on that base.
I was stationed at Hill AFB back in the 1980’s. Had a fantastic time while in Utah!
That is great to hear!! Thanks for watching and please come back for more.
I recognize that car!!
A really wonderful collection lots of diversity and all in tip top condition. If you are doing detail at the entrance stop longer and cover less ground it gives time to read a few more interesting exhibits.
Thank you for watching!
Check out my Wendover video. You may like it. I hope you do.
Hill Field used to be a collection point for AAF recruits. Then on to Gieger Field Spokake for gunnery introductions. My father in law taught basics. Then on to flight school gunnery training.
Thanks for sharing and for watching!
So where is the 4K? I was there a couple weeks ago with a few of my grandkids. Very nice museum and it's free. It was in the middle of an expansion with a new building, so the aircraft were almost on top of each other. May I suggest one thing when doing videos of any museum. Stop at each exhibit and do a few seconds of short, clear video of the display information so that we can freeze and read it. It really helps to know what we're looking at, especially if there is no narrator.
Thank you for your suggestion. And it was filmed in 4k but got lost in the software. I am still learning but try to get better. Thanks for watching!
I was on a course at moog in SLC back in 2005/06 whilst serving in the Royal Air Force and the instructors kindly took us to the museum one afternoon. It was amazing then and looks even more amazing now. Great video.
That is great! I remember visiting back then and yes they added quite a bit. Thanks for watching.
Check out my Wendover video. You may like it.

I was running for president in 2020 and some things were happening so I stopped at Hill Air Force Base at the Medical group and told them I had information I needed to turn in so Air Force OSI came over and laughed at me for running as a liberal candidate, and never looked at the classified information. Unprofessional and endangering this country. I’m gonna make sure they’re fired and that the med group commander is also found and fired. One of the most unprofessional experiences of my life, and I’m retired Air Force.. there is absolutely no excuse
Thanks for your service. And see my answer to your other comment.
Running for president of what exactly?
@@markr.1984 The United States of America. What do you think I’m out here talking about running for President of the Rotary club. Give me a break.
Hill, Air Force base is a disgrace to the United States Air Force, Department of Defense, and the United States of America. United States, Air Force retired, Master Sergeant, Timothy, David Geisler, 1982 to 2004.
The 2020 election was absolutely interfered with and government officials refused to look at the data about the fact that a presidential candidate was being attacked. Since when did the United States military start laughing at presidential candidates?
I am sorry you were treated that way. I try to keep politics out of my videos but I appreciate your input.
I went through this museum. Absolutely amazing. I think the average American has no idea the times of bravery and self sacrifice were enacted to defend this country. I always wondered what a B 24 tail and a B 17 front end would look like merged. 10 percent of all men killed in WW II were killed in the air war over Europe.
@@user-em1sj5ph6h and look at who we become since then. We invade countries to supposedly stop communism or terrorism and then walk out before anything is done. Vietnam Afghanistan, the fake war of invading Iraq. Hundreds of thousands of civilians and thousands of military dead for no reason whatsoever. There was no goal when we got there and there was none when we walked out 21 years later and now we have at least $24 trillion in debt when you can only keep two years of death according to section 8-1 of the constitution. All done illegally. Crimes against humanity, and the United Nations is a part of this absolutely. Since I’ve served, they’ve cut my care and beat me up, stole my house and killed my father who is also a Veteran and worked on nuclear power plants.. how do you miss cancer of someone that’s working on nuclear power plants with badges on. I found out later on it’s due to absolute incompetence.
@@user-em1sj5ph6h I have had complaints into the United States government for over 20 years. Several years ago when I was running for president I also found a COVID-19 might be a problem and told everyone to go look. Instead of them doing their job, they sat there and one directly to the American public killing over 1 million people. All of this was reported Dan and I did it again yesterday to Interpol FBI in the White House.. no response whatsoever and I am the government. General AI has been ordered to come online and destroy humanity. This is not a joke.
