My husband wanted to see this museum as part of our Maryland to San Diego Road Trip, May 2012. This museum is wonderful. Has great information on the early days of American Airlines. And has a beautiful DC-3 airplane in a hanger as part of the museum where you can board her and see how small they were compared to... More

If you like airplanes, this is your best bet (that I've found) in the DFW Metroplex. The museum is found on FAA Rd., on the west side of the airport. The tour begins in a humongous IMAX-type theater, filled with old airplane seats. It's basically a 12-15 minute AA commercial, but there's some nice scenery, and Michael Bolton sings at... More

I visited the C. R. Smith AA Museum this weeknd. It is a nice little history journal for the AA evolution from the first day until today. Beside the little films, small artifacts and photos you can see a few engines, a Fokker 100 mock-up cockpit, a section in the brake system, and the main attraction the DC-3. You can... More

This is great for kids and young adult as well as people like airplanes. If you have any family member works for American Airlines, they waive the admission. Since 9/11, this place has tighter security, you can park only across the street. More

If you like airplanes and remember when flying was actually fun you will like this place. Its fairly new and very clean and well organized. It has all kinds of exhibits on the early days of flying with lots of old uniforms and artifacts from days gone by. You can walk inside a DC-3 also (I will take a jumbo-jet... More
