The Vintage Flying Museum

The Vintage Flying Museum is a non-profit aviation museum located at Meacham International Airport, Fort Worth, Texas. The primary mission of the museum is to preserve America’s flying heritage in word, deed and action. Drive or fly to this museum—it’s in a hangar at the south end of Meacham International Airport—to tour nearly two dozen rare and historic aircraft. Also on display are a dedicated reciprocal and jet engine room, an FAA aviation education resource center, WWII memorabilia and artifacts and a unique aircraft model exhibit. VINTAGE FLYING MUSEUM HOURS Friday: 10am – 5pm Saturday: 9am – 5pm Sunday: 12pm – 5pm Other days by appointment.

The Vintage Flying Museum is a unique “working” museum where visitors are able to see what it takes to “Keep ‘em Flying”. We are home to 5 separate non-profit groups all working to preserve America’s rich aviation history. Cowtown Skywarrior EA-3B Association-
Most of the aircraft are airworthy and fly on a regular basis for air shows and demonstrations throughout the year. We are completely staffed by volunteers who share our love for aviation history and enjoy sharing it with people of every age from all over the world.

The museum provides educational programs that include aviation summer camps for middle and high school students, and Take Flight Days, which are programs for elementary school students. Newton’s Airport builds on classroom study of Newton’s Laws and Potential/Kinetic Energy by providing a laboratory session for students. The museum conducts the lab session at your school or facility. Using rubber powered aircraft, students will complete experiments varying the separate forces on an aircraft, recording the results. Then the students plot and analyze the results and make predictions based on the plotted results. The program is suitable for grades 6th through 12th and is very adaptable to after school clubs, youth groups, day camps and other extracurricular activities. Contact the museum for more information about how to bring this lab experience to your students.

The Vintage Flying Museum’s aviation education initiatives are continuing to provide support for educators through hands-on curriculum such as “Lesson Plans That Fly.” Teachers can engage students with STEM activities that will encourage and provide the basics for them to continue down the engineering path. The value of science and engineering is in keeping with our need to keep the United States competitive in the international arena. STEM influences every aspect of modern life. And, aviation education is cross-cutting classroom projects from English, Sociology, Geography, as well as math and science.
