Aircraft Museums

I hate waiting at airports, but things may have changed if San Francisco became the airport I was stuck at! They have their own aviation museum! The San Francisco Airport Commission Aviation Library and Louis A. Turpen Aviation Museum provides unique opportunities for learning about the development of commercial aviation and the role it plays in our everyday lives. Located in the International Terminal, it is an architectural adaptation of the Airport’s 1930s passenger lobby. The collection focuses on air transport with an emphasis on the West Coast and the Pacific region. Exhibitions, research services, and educational programs are offered to the public free of charge. In addition to the museum there is also a boutique beer bar outlet!!
