The Delta Flight Museum is an aviation and corporate museum located near the airline's main hub at the Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport. Just seconds from world’s busiest airport. |
| Description | The museum is housed in two 1940s-era Delta Air Lines maintenance hangars, which were used until the 1960s when the Delta Technical Operations Center, formerly known as the Jet Base, was completed. The museum is a nonprofit organization and relies on volunteers, donations, special event rentals and Museum Store sales. The Delta Museum is considered an ongoing project and it collects various items year round. Features include:
At the Museum, guests can:
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: The Spirit of Delta, Delta’s first Boeing 767, which was bought by employees, retirees, and friends and donated to Delta in 1982. The rear segment of the aircraft has been converted into exhibition space and houses two exhibitions, while the cockpit, galley, and first class section remain intact. “Ship 41”, the first DC-3 to carry Delta passengers, which was restored by volunteers and a core mechanic team from 1993-1999. In 2001, Ship 41 became the first aircraft to be presented an award by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. A 1931 Travel Air, symbolizing Delta's first passenger aircraft. A 1936 Stinson Reliant SE. Nicknamed the “Gull Wing,” this unique aircraft served as an instrument trainer for Northeast Airlines pilots in 1941-1942. Professionally-managed archives of artifacts related to Delta and its ancestor airlines. The Archives maintains over 200,000 images, 1,000 films, and one of the world's largest airline uniform collections in a museum. Aviation reference library. Temporary exhibits. A McDonnell Douglas DC-9, N675MC Replica of the first Delta station in Monroe, Louisiana. The forward fuselage of the first Lockheed L-1011 built. Delta at one time operated almost 60 of the type, although the museum's example was not among them.
