Texas Air & Space Museum, Aviation museum at Rick Husband Amarillo International Airport, Texas.

The Texas Air & Space Museum sits adjacent to Rick Husband Amarillo International Airport and displays aircraft and space artifacts spanning multiple eras of flight. The collection spans indoor galleries and an outdoor park featuring historical aircraft including a NASA Gulfstream II training plane.

The museum began in 1989 at private Tradewind Airport in southeast Amarillo. In 1997 it moved to the old Amarillo air terminal buildings, used from 1929 to 1972 as English Field, English Airport and Amarillo Air Terminal. Rising maintenance costs closed it in 2007; in February 2010 it took the name Texas Air & Space Museum and reopened at Rick Husband Amarillo International Airport, with opening day on February 15, 2011.

Indoor exhibits cover local aviators and the airfields that hosted early flight, including Harold English and English Field. A model aircraft display is hand-built by Jack Rude, a World War II veteran and former B-17 tail gunner. A space section runs from the Mercury flights to the Space Shuttle.

Indoor displays sit in the former English Field terminal buildings, while the aircraft park is outdoors, so check the weather before walking the tarmac. The site is by Rick Husband Amarillo International Airport; ask staff which hangars and halls are open that day, as exhibit space has shifted since the 2010 reopening.

The museum preserves aircraft flown by astronaut Rick Husband, including the specific NASA Gulfstream II trainer numbered 946. This particular plane held a key role in preparing astronauts for space missions.
