About Texas Air Museum, Stinson Chapter

The Texas Air Museum sits at historic Stinson Field in San Antonio and has operated since 1999. Its collection tells how Texas and San Antonio helped shape American military aviation, and it honors aviation pioneers, technical advances, and people who died defending the nation. While many vintage aircraft displays center on the Second World War, this museum also covers the early years of flight and the golden age of aviation, including the Stinson family's aviation story. Volunteers staff the museum, and founder John Tosh, a veteran of several conflicts, leads tours.
