Description:
- The centerpiece of this fascinating collection of antique warbirds is the B-17 Flying Fortress, nicknamed "Chuckie." The B-17 Flying Fortress was used during World War II against the Nazis; Chuckie is reportedly one of the few surviving planes of its type. 20 or so other airplanes, as well as a jeep and the Texas Air Command's helicopters, share the restored B-29 hangar with Chuckie, while display cases show off model planes and war artifacts. The gift shop features art, jewelry, models and toys about aircraft, as well as the obligatory T-shirts. A small donation for upkeep of the museum is requested. Although the museum operates mainly on weekends, you can also visit on weekday by appointment.
