Century Circle is an open-air exhibit located just outside the West Gate of Edwards Air Force Base (AFB) in California. This display features a collection of the “Century Series” fighters—advanced jet aircraft developed during the 1950s and 1960s. The exhibit is accessible to the public without requiring entry onto the base, making it a convenient stop for aviation enthusiasts and travelers. A restored segment of an Air Force Flight Test Center control tower is also part of the exhibit, providing historical context to the displayed aircraft.
