The Texas Air Museum is an aviation museum run by volunteers in two locations—Stinson Municipal Airport in San Antonio and City of Slaton/Larry T. Neal Memorial Airport near Lubbock, Texas. Texas Air Museum was founded in 1985 by John Houston in Rio Hondo. The Slaton location opened in March 1993.The museum is run by a group of volunteers predominantly made up of "winter Texans" and military retirees.The original Rio Hondo location closed on February 28, 2005 due to aging volunteer support, lower attendance, and the damaging salty air of the Rio Grande Valley. Its exhibits and aircraft were transferred to the other two locations.The museum focuses on early aviation, and lesser-known aviation related to Texas and Mexico in particular. The museum acquired a Bleriot to commemorate the Stinson family, namesakes of Stinson Municipal Airport.The museum acquired two PT-19 projects in October 2023.
