Airline History Museum
On January 23, 2005 we flew to the Airline History Museum, located at Kansas City Downtown Airport (MKC), former home of Howard Hughes' TWA, in search of Lockheed Constellation artwork and memorabilia for our Constellation Suite. We found it. Located on the field, the museum has a Douglas DC-3 undergoing restoration, a Martin 404, and the queen of the prop-driven skies, a Lockheed Super Constellation. Visitors are given a guided tour by dedicated and enthusiastic volunteers, and are given access through and around these grand old airliners. They also have a terrific exhibit area and gift shop. With the buildings of downtown looming close by, and TWA's old world headquarters building (with Howard Hughes' old office clearly visible) still in use (by a Beechcraft dealer), this airport is truly a time capsule to be cherished and enjoyed. And the Airline History Museum is one museum we'll be back to visit again and again. Click on a thumbnail to see a larger version:
