Lone Star Flight Museum moved from Galveston to Ellington Field after Hurricane Ike devastated their original museum. It took a couple of years but here is the results.
Lone Star Flight Museum, Ellington Field, Houston TX.

I should also point out that almost all of these are flyable and do fly the airshow circuit.

Good ones Don. Someone should talk to them about that Merlin though.
Lovely shots!

Nice shots. Back in the 80s and 90s, I would head down to Galveston once a month with my father. Have not made it down since the storm. So much of the collection was lost and the birds sold off. The new place looks good.
With as many times as I go to Houston, how have I never been to this museum?

They were out a Galveston until Hurricane Ike about wiped them out. It was sad to see, I have photos of the old complex I'll have to upload. After Ike they stayed open though in limited form until the new facilities at Ellington opened up. They are a lot smaller than before but really cool. Ellington is also home for Collings Foundation F-4 and TA-4 as well as a couple other noteworthy operations and Oft times you can see some NASA birds.
