Overview

American Airlines sponsors C.R. Smith Museum, which examines the history of commercial airlines and explores their inner workings. Visitors have ample opportunities to check out seminal principals of flight first hand; they can experience a wind tunnel, see how a jet engine works, try out the pilot's seat in the cockpit or enter the Flight Lab to learn more about air pressure at high altitudes. The IWERKS large-screen theater shows movies about airline history while the patrons sit in authentic first-class seats. Moreover, there is a gift shop. A

A must see if you like commercial aviationby Yahoo | 2005-05-09 23:15:45 |

I had a wonderful time at this museum. Exhibits are professional and well presented, especially the fully-restored DC-3 which you can crawl into. There's an interactive cockpit, models, old photos, a short IMAX film, and plenty of other exhibits that help teach you about the history of American Airlines as well as aviation in general. Gift shop has anything you can imagine that's aviation related (and specifically American Airlines related). And the best part is that it's free to the public (except the IMAX movie, which is $4 if you want to see it). We had more fun here than at some places we paid to see. I highly recommend it if you like commercial aviation or have children. You'll have a good time.
