1/13/2020 - Flew in for a visit a year and a half ago. Worth the stop. Lots of interesting history and artifacts. - Submitted by Huey
10/26/2014 - In September 2014 we parked, my brother and I, in front of the terminal. We were not even out of the plane that the friendliest people went off the terminal and greeted us on the tarmac. This museum is a piece of art, and the only one of its kind. Where would you sit were Humphrey Bogart used to wait for a plane? Very impressive visit and very charming people. 10 out of 10. - Submitted by Serge Beaudet
4/9/2009 - The contact email for the museum has changed. Please update your information to have info@1940airterminal.org as the new contact email. - Submitted by PJ Gustafson
