About Texas Air & Space Museum

The museum sits near Rick Husband Amarillo International Airport and displays aircraft and artifacts tied to flight and space exploration. Its stated goals are to inspire Texas Panhandle youth toward careers in science and technology and to document and share regional, state, and national aviation history. Visitors can see the historic DC-3 known as N34, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, along with other aircraft. The museum also runs educational programs and a golf scramble fundraiser, and it has been working toward a new home on airport property.
