Nice collection and excellent restoration of the B17 and B25. However the P38 was sold to an individual in Florida and is no longer on display. Very disappointing as it is my favorite aircraft. Still worth the visit.

The LSFM Airshow continues the fine qualities and photo opportunities for both video & still images that started at the former Breckenridge, TX Airshows! The museum collection is outstanding for WW II & Korean War historians; the flight line is situated perfect for viewing aircraft; the airshow announcers & airboss some of the best in the country; and every airshow is centered on American pride & patriotism! I plan to attend the spring airshow every year!

I spent over 2 hours in this fantastic museum. The volunteers were awesome to talk to...they even gave us the opportunity to see a lot of the aircraft up close. If you are in Galveston this is definitely a "MUST SEE".

This is one of the best in the Southwest. The fact the aircraft are flyable (with a few exceptions) makes this museum more remarkable. Does anyone know if the TB-58 is the same one that used to be on display in Fort Worth?

I have been fortunate enough to have been able to visit such world famous aviation museums as the Smithsonian Air And Space Museum (although not yet the new Udvar-Hazy facility - yet!) and the Air Force Museum. The LSFM has to rank (slightly!) behind these, I think, but only slightly. The outstanding feature here is that most of the planes are airworthy, and are flown with at least some degree of regularity: a rare thing these days A fascinating and worthwhile trip!!

This is one of the best museums in the country. The great staff keep them flying, which is a real plus considering the high cost of aviation. You should really see this one.

Hi, Could anyone send me information on the AT-9? All I know is that it's a twin engine advanced trainer and that some of them were based at Randolph Field, in Texas. Thanks for your help!
