The Texas Air Museum is an aviation museum run by volunteers in two locations—Stinson Municipal Airport in San Antonio[2] and City of Slaton/Larry T. Neal Memorial Airport near Lubbock, Texas.
[3] Texas Air Museum was founded in 1985 by John Houston in Rio Hondo.
The museums are run by groups of volunteers predominantly made up of "winter Texans" and military retirees.
[5][4] The original Rio Hondo location closed on February 28, 2005 due to aging volunteer support, lower attendance,[1] and the damaging salty air of the Rio Grande Valley.
[9] The Stinson museum acquired one PT-23A, two PT-19, and one Fairchild Swearingen Metroliner projects in October 2023.
