The Lone Star Flight Museum aims to inform and educate the public of their aviation heritage and history by acquiring, restoring to flying condition and preserving a collection of aircraft representing the evolution of flying machines.
The Lone Star Flight Museum opened the doors of its new $38 million, 130,000 square-foot aviation history and STEM facility in late September 2017 at Ellington Airport. The new world-class museum shares the story of flight in the Lone Star State and features the contributions Texas and Texans have made to aviation.
Highlights of the museum include interactive exhibits focused on science, technology engineering and math concepts (STEM) essential to flight, a $1 million Aviation Learning Center, the Texas Aviation Hall of Fame and a marvelous flying collection of historically significant aircraft.
