| Description | Galveston is home to one of the premier aviation museums in the country. The internationally recognized Lone Star Flight Museum contains an award winning collection of over 40 historically significant aircraft expertly maintained to flying standards, and is the largest of its type under one roof in the Southern United States. A few notable aircraft in the collection include the B-17 Flying Fortress, B-25 Mitchell, P-47 Thunderbolt, F4U Corsair, F6F Hellcat, Supermarine Spitfire, SBD Dauntless and a newly restored Hawker Hurricane.
Warbird flights are now available in the B-17, B-25, PT-17 Stearman and the T-6 Texan! Prices range from $225 to $425, flights occur about once a month during the regular flight season and gift certificates are available.
The key ingredient that distinguishes the Lone Star Flight Museum from other aviation museums is that the airplanes are still alive. A visit to our flight line during flight operations is the perfect way to experience the sights, sounds and smells of America’s airpower heritage. Imagine a WWII airfield with hundreds of bombers or fighters as they prepare for another mission. Today, only few airworthy examples remain of these historic machines that defended freedom across the globe.
The Lone Star Flight Museum is also home to the Texas Aviation Hall of Fame. Recognized by the Texas Legislature, the Texas Aviation Hall of Fame honors the heroes and pioneers of aviation. Housed in the Hall of Fame’s Education Center are 57 displays presenting each inductee’s experiences and contributions to aviation. Other rotating and permanent educational exhibits designed to increase knowledge, interest, and portray the impact of aviation on today’s world are found in the Education Center.
