Pacific Coast Air Museum collection Photographs and information about the airplanes in the museum's permanent collection. You can visit them year-round and even sit in the cockpits! The museum has an impressive collection of fighter jets including an F-16, a Harrier jump-jet, and one of the F-14s actually used in the filming of "Top Gun". Also very cool is the museum's huge lineup of Vietnam-era tactical jets, like an F-4 Phantom, an A-6 Intruder, an A-4, an F-5E, an F-106, an F-105, an F-8, a T-38, a T-37... and some Korean-War-era jets like an F-84, two F-86s, a T-33... You will rarely see that many military jets in one place.
