Our first stop of the day will be the Texas Air Museum at Stinson Field. This museum in San Antonio is the only aviation museum open to the general public. The museum’s mission has been dedicated to telling stories of San Antonio’s and Texas’ vital role in the development of civilian and military air power. It pays tribute to aviation pioneers, notably the co-founders of Stinson Airport, Katherine Stinson, her sister Marjorie Stinson, and brother Edward Stinson.
