Silent Wings Museum, Military aviation museum in Lubbock, Texas, US.
The Silent Wings Museum occupies the former terminal building of Lubbock Airport, displaying military gliders and aviation artifacts from World War II.
Between 1942 and 1945, the South Plains Army Air Field trained glider pilots who executed missions by transporting soldiers behind enemy lines.
The National World War II Glider Pilots Association established the museum to preserve the legacy of military glider operations and their pilots.
The museum opens Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM and Sunday from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM, with admission rates from free to $10.
The museum features a restored WACO CG-4A glider as its centerpiece, accompanied by the Timeline, Hangar, and Combat exhibition galleries.
