The Museo de Aeronáutica y Astronáutica is located just outside the city limits and some distance from the nearest Metro station. The easiest way to get there is probably to take Metro or a local train(Cercanias) to the Aluche station on Metro line #5 and take a taxi straight to the museum gate. Taxi ride is 5-10min and 10-15€
Otherwise, take the Metro/Cercanias to Station Quatro Vientos on line#10.The museum is 1.500m or so further along the highway, it might be possible to walk, but I strongly recommend taking a bus in direction Alcorcon or Mostoles for one stop to where you can see a water tower marked Museo del Aire on the other side of the road and you have a bridge for crossing the highway. When you have made it to the military bases gate, the sentries want to borrow your passport and register you on a list, they then return your passport and point further down the way towards the KC-97L.

The Museo de Aeronáutica y Astronáutica facilities extend over a surface of more than 66,938 m2 (720,510 sq ft), including outdoor displays, about 200 aircraft and seven hangars. There are mainly planes and helicopters, many of which have previously served in the Spanish Air Force. Visitors will also find hundreds of miniature aircraft models, engines, weapons, uniforms, vehicles, mock-ups and many other aviation related objects. Aircraft on display include a Vilanova Acedo, Spanish version of the Blériot XI built in 1911, the Jesús del Gran Poder, a special version of the Breguet 19 used on the transatlantic flight to Asia and America between 1928 and 1929, a few aircraft of the Spanish Republican Air Force, as well as the famous de Havilland Dragon Rapide used by Francisco Franco from the Canary Islands to Tétouan at the start of the military rebellion which began the Spanish Civil War in 1936.
