Silent Wings Museum is dedicated to the legacy of the WWII Glider
Pilot and tells the history of the American military
glider program. Members of the National World War II Glider Pilots
Association, Inc. originally established the Silent Wings Museum
in Terrell,
Texas in 1984. In 1997, the glider pilots began to explore options
for ensuring the permanence of the Museum. The Terrell location
closed in January 2001 and the Silent Wings Museum re-opened
22
months later in the renovated and expanded old terminal building
on the west side of Lubbock International Airport.

The Museum Foundation
has secured a vintage
C-47 Skytrain to be placed out in front of
the

The C-47 was the most-used glider tug and transport aircraft
of the
US Army Air Forces.
