Frontiers of Flight Museum

6911 Lemmon Ave, Dallas Love Field

Experience the stories of aviation and space flight – from Leonardo da Vinci, to the Wright Brothers, to the spacecraft of the twenty-first century – all in one museum.

This 100,000 sq. ft. building holds over 30 aircraft and space vehicles including a full-size model of the 1903 Wright Flyer. Artifacts from the airship Hindenburg and other giant dirigibles are in one gallery. Highlights about Charles Lindbergh, Bessie Coleman (the first licensed African-American aviator) Richard Byrd, Amelia Earhart, “Jimmy” Doolittle and many others are in a separate gallery. In the war gallery, scale models of military aircraft tell the stories of America’s major conflicts in the Aviation Age. The Apollo 7 spacecraft and the only moon rock on display in North Texas reside in another gallery along with a full-size reproduction of Sputnik I flying overhead. The Heart of Our History gallery details the story of Dallas’s own Southwest Airlines and features a complete Boeing 737-300 aircraft which is accessible to the public. 

We will spend 90 minutes touring the Museum so wear comfortable shoes. Our bus will leave at 11:00 am. We’ll eat lunch (at our own expense) and then head to the museum. We will have a docent-guided tour at 1:00 pm and return around 3:30 pm. Cost is $10.00.   Please register online for this event.
