Frontiers of Flight Museum

Location: Dallas, Texas

Region: Mountains-Plains

Website: http://www.flightmuseum.com/

Description: The Frontiers of Flight Museum mission is to create and sponsor educational programs for school and public groups in order to educate, motivate and inspire the next generation; recognize and promote the contributions of aviation and aerospace to the community; and focus on Events and Personalities which have pushed the "frontier of aviation." The Museum bridges several lifetimes starting with the pioneers who realized their earliest dreams of flying and progressing to the jet and rocket age of today. The full range of the airliner development is presented vividly though large-scale cutaway models, airline posters and other memorabilia.

Profile: The centerpiece of the affiliation are the agreements to National Air and Space Museum to display and interpret the Apollo 7 Command Module and to refurbish and display the Chance Vought V-173 "Flying Pancake" experimental aircraft which will be showcased in the air and space wing scheduled to open in Fall 2005.
