Excellent Museum near Lubbock Airport
I would not recommend this museum for young children. However, it is a very well done museum with an excellent, interesting display of military history. Gliders played a role in the allied victory in WWII and this museum does an excellent job telling this story. I'd highly recommend this museum to anyone interested in military history. The people at the museum were helpful and friendly. I learned a great deal and enjoyed this visit.

I know what a Glider is Now!!
I had no idea what a glider plane was until I visited the Silent Wings Museum. What a neat part of history to learn about! There was a LOT to read- I did not read it all, but I did stop and read some very interesting stories. The bicycle story, the blood chits, the opportunity to look in a full size glider- the rope! I loved it. I could not get over the low cost to get into the museum- a discount was applied since we did go to the Buddy Holly museum prior to this museum. Thank you for this opportunity to come to this well laid out museum and breathtaking room that opened up to a real glider and planes.
