tripadvisorIt was quite an experience you can’t find anywhere else. The tourist was very passionate and friendly. Came with complimentary snacks, pins, and stickers too. It’s free admission but donation would be appreciated. You may spend 1~2 hours there. I’d recommend for people who like aviation stuff.
MoreThese smaller aviation museums always have some really cool things and the Texas Air and Space museum is no different. They have a DC-3 and a NASA Shuttle training aircraft on display among others.
MoreStopped in on road trip through Amarillo. Well worth the time. We had a very interesting guide for the areas that were secure. Viewed relics from wars and space travel. The coolest was the cockpit of the NASA training plane. If you are looking for history this place has a lot of information on former military. My husband sent them a pic from his time served for their records. It is not large, but they are actively restoring planes.
MoreA very individualized experience with a guide who told us about the history of the airplane in the area since we told them that was our interest
MoreThe Texas Air And Space Museum is located at The Amarillo Airport. We were lucky to arrive just as one of the persons there was starting a guided tour. There was an old DC 3 that you could go inside, a couple of Vietnam era troop carriers, a helicopter and a jet airplane that some of the NASA astronauts used to train for dead stick landings for the space shuttle. The guide was very good and explained everything very well.
