Texas Air & Space Museum

We went on a homeschool field trip to the Texas Air & Space Museum.  We had a great private tour and the kids got to go inside many of the planes.



This is a P-51D Mustang.  It never saw combat in WWII, but it has been given the same paint job as the famous Short-Fuse Salle that didn't survive the war.

A Bell 47 MASH helicopter. 

Grumman C-11A NASA Shuttle Training Aircraft

The controls on the left are those found on the space shuttle.  The controls on the right are typical airplane controls.



The seats in the back were really comfy.

C-7 Caribou Vietnam Troop Carrier

This is the airplane that the Army troops would use to parachute into Vietnam.

Lex found a bomb as big as him!
