The
Airline History Museum is located at the Historic Downtown Airport, in
Kansas City, Missouri. To walk through it is to truly step back
in time, to a different and more graceful age of air transportation.
The museum contains a collection of photographs, artifacts, printed
material, and audio/visual displays that will bring you the true
flavor of an age gone by. Uniforms, galley items,
instrumentation, logbooks, personal mementos, and so much more to
bring to life the propeller-driven era. Then there is our
aircraft collection which includes the Queen of our fleet, the Lockheed L1049 "Super
G" Constellation, a Martin 404, and a Douglas DC-3, which is undergoing
restoration.
Our
hours of operation are Monday through Saturday, 10am to 4pm, and Sunday, 12pm
to 4pm. Admission to the Museum and to tour the aircraft is $7.00 for age
14 and over, $6.00 for age 65 and over, $3.00 for ages 6-13. Children under 6
are free with a paid adult admission. Feel free to make any
additional tax-deductible donations. Tour guides are available too, most
of them having been part of aviation's heritage.
The Airline History Museum is a vital and
growing operation. By the time you read this, more artifacts, personal items, and fascinating
pieces of aviation's rich past will have been donated and placed on display. The only way to truly know
what's there, is to come for a visit. We hope
to see you soon!
