There are 8 divided exhibition areas in the special exhibition, which are “Honorable History”, “Loyal Spirit”, “Aircrafts”, “Distinguished Services”, “Viewing Military Parade with Technology”, “Falling in Love with the Air Force”, “Going Ahead Together at the Same Speed” and “Looking for the Traits of Tiger”. Through artifacts, models and multi-media interactive contents, visitors of all ages may understand the characteristics of missions for the Thunder Tiger Aerobatic Team, their history of establishment and the results of rigorous trainings in the Air Force.
