Texas Air & Space Museum, Amarillo

I took my grandchildren to this small but incredible museum. They got to sit in cockpits of many different types of historical planes, see models, sit in an injection seat, and be inside a plane where soldiers jumped from parachutes. It was so interesting! The highlight for my 9 year old grandson was going into a NASA shuttle trainer used for astronauts to do training sessions. Thank you to our wonderful guide Mr Ron. So glad we went.

Really awesome experience! Ken gave us a tour although we were only 3 and there were only about 90 minutes left. The number of exhibits might be not as impressive as at some other sites, but the things they have and the stories being told are simply great. I am sure Ken would have been able to explain and tell stories for another few hours or so - you immediately get that this museum means really a lot to him. They do not charge any fees, but definitely deserve big donations. A hidden gem worth every recommendation!
