Lone Star Flight Museum in Houston – Just Plane Fun!

The Lone Star Flight Museum is the only museum in Houston whose exhibits FLY! This aviation museum and STEM learning center is dedicated to celebrating flight and achievements in Texas aviation history while educating and engaging youth through science, technology, engineering, and math. The 130,000 square foot museum includes the Heritage and Waltrip Hangars that house a collection of more than two dozen rare and historic commercial, general aviation, and military aircraft.
