If you love airplanes, this is a place that you MUST go see! The Lone Star Flight Museum and The Texas Aviation Hall of Fame. There are more than 2 dozen vintage aircraft, including B-17 Bombers and a Spitfire. This is a great place to take the kids. We had a wonderful time, and it was a real hands on experience!

The Museum is home of the Texas Aviation Hall of Fame. More than 40 aircraft are display and most of these have been restored to full flying condition. In total the Museum contains the largest collection of historic aircraft in the Southern United States.
The Museum is open every day (except for special events) from 9am-5pm.

The Lone Star Flight Museum features two hangars of airplanes, a historic display area, and a gift shop. Many of the planes are still in flying condition, and volunteers and staff fly them at local airshows. They are often in the process of restoring a plane, so the visitor often sees a plane under reconstruction.

Most of the planes in the museum are from WWII. They have one plane like the one that President Bush (41) flew in the Pacific during WWII. Several have won awards for the detail of their restoration. Most are American, but a few are foreign.
