Well here is my link to the Delta Air Lines museum in Atlanta, Ga.

Interesting little blurb:

To me there is nothing better than a good aviation museum.
I remember as a kid going to Pates Museum of Transportation and looking at
the old fighters and other planes as well as antique cars, boats army
tanks, etc... The government has taken all, if not most of the aircraft
away from them though.
I have been to the CR Smith (AA) museum several times. My 12 year old son
loves going. It's free, takes a good hour to see everything as well as
watch a movie. This is southwest of DFW about 3 miles.

KFTW also has a cool museum towards the northeast side of the airport
called Vintage Flying Museum. Has a B-17 that they fly to various airshows
as well as about 20 or so other aircraft and many artifacts. Visitor
friendly. Gives tours of the B-17. Cool place! $5 to get in.

Here is a video of the B-17 in flight
from Jays webpage.

KDAL has the Frontiers of Flight Museum on property. Haven't been yet, but
hear it's a good museum.

KADS has the Cavanaugh Flight Museum on property. Haven't been there
either, but hear it's also a good one.

There are actually a couple of other smaller museums around the DFW
area...
