Stafford Air & Space Museum, Aviation museum in Weatherford, Oklahoma.

The Stafford Air & Space Museum is an aviation museum in Weatherford, Oklahoma, displaying aircraft, spacecraft capsules, and scientific instruments from decades of flight and space exploration. The exhibits are spread across several connected buildings that cover both military and civilian flight history.

The museum opened in 1983 in small rooms at Weatherford airport and grew over the following decades into a larger complex. Its expansion reflects the growing interest in preserving aviation and space artifacts in this part of Oklahoma.

The museum is named for Thomas P. Stafford, a Weatherford native and one of only 24 people to have traveled to the Moon. He flew four spaceflights: Gemini 6A in 1965, Gemini 9A in 1966, Apollo 10 in 1969 and the 1975 Apollo–Soyuz Test Project. On display are the Apollo 10 pressure suit he wore and the docking hatch through which he shook hands with Alexei Leonov, along with the uniforms both men wore.

The indoor galleries are climate-controlled, so a visit is comfortable year-round regardless of Oklahoma weather. Plan for enough time to walk through all the connected buildings at your own pace, as the collection is large.

The museum displays a TP-82 cosmonaut survival pistol given to Stafford by cosmonaut Alexei Leonov, alongside the docking hatch through which the two men greeted each other in 1975. The Apollo–Soyuz hatch and the uniforms both wore during the handshake are also on view.
