American Airlines C R Smith Muesum

American Airlines C. R. Smith Museum

This is an "airline" museum, not an "aircraft" museum; dedicated to C. R. Smith, the "father of American Airlines." Through interactive displays, films, videos and hands-on exhibits, visitors see the operation of an airline—today and in the past. More than 80 small airlines merged to become American Airways in 1930; that name changed to American Airlines in 1934. A vintage Douglas DC-3, Flagship Knoxville, meticulously restored by retired AA pilots, mechanics and employees, was flown to Fort Worth and hoisted into its place of prominence. Open Tue.–Sat. 10 a.m.–6 p.m. Adjacent to American Airlines Flight Academy at Texas 360 and FAA Rd. southwest of D/FW Airport. 817/967-1560. www.crsmithmuseum.org.
