A view of the Texas Air Museum exhibits (the FW190 is no longer on display)
Welcome to the Texas Air Museum at historic Stinson
Field. Below you will see a photo of the old terminal that is still used today as a control
tower. Stinson Field is the second oldest airport in the US!
The old Stinson Terminal
Since 1999, the Texas Air Museum
at Stinson Field has been dedicated to telling the story of Texas
and San Antonio's vital role in the development of military air power.
It also pays tribute to aviation pioneers, technical achievements
in the realm of aviation, and above all, pays respect and honor to
those who gave their lives to defend freedom.
Most attention in the area of
vintage aircraft centers around World War II, and the Pacific and
European theaters of that conflict. The Texas Air Museum not only
represents that era, but is unique in also covering in detail the
early period and "golden-age" of aviation. Here you can
also learn about the famous "Flying Stinson Family", and
why San Antonio is considered to be the birthplace of American military
aviation.
MUSEUM STAFF
The museum is staffed entirely
by dedicated volunteers.
