I had no idea this closed and I've lived here for six years! I can't believe I didn't go visit.

Surely there is enough money in this city of Houston between airlines that operate here and the oil companies that they spend most of your ticket money on to keep this open?

It really was/is a gem of a museum, very fun to visit and quite approachable. We went a couple times, once when they had some fly-ins that made it extra special.

Hopefully it can be preserved and continue it's life! There is hope: https://www.1940airterminal.org/news/texas-historical-commis...

I don’t see why they couldn’t make ends meet with events and so on.

There shouldn’t be any huge expenses, unless they were leasing the premises at market rate.

We're in a silent recession, dude. Public good's about to get sold off to monied interests for their private use, like it always is.
