A small museum with an interesting collection. The kids enjoyed sitting in the cockpit of a St Louis helicopter and watching planes land and take off from the tarmac outside the hanger. Also got to play in one of the retired Southwest Airlines flight simulators for 737s.

The friendly docents made this stop very interesting and I was impressed by the nicely restored Art Deco beauty of the building. It was really great to experience the early airplane in the nearby hangar, and the docent there was equally inviting and entertaining.

This museum, the former air terminal for Hobby Airport, is like stepping back in time to the 1940's. Loved every bit of it. With simple but authentic displays, artifacts and presentations, its a great experience for the air buff.

The recent restoration of the building is stunning with its attention to detail.
