Southwest Aerospace Museum: It's in Abilene, Not Fort Worth
Correction: The museum is the Dyess Air Force Base Linear Air Park / Heritage Museum (sometimes called Southwest Aerospace Museum) — located at Dyess AFB, Abilene, Texas — not Fort Worth.
Exact Location
- Address: 11111 State Highway 351, Abilene, TX 79607 (Dyess AFB main gate area)
- Coordinates: 32.4207° N, -99.8302° W
- Access: Base access required for main park; some displays visible from public roads
What You'll See

Fort Worth Alternative
If you're in Fort Worth, visit the Fort Worth Aviation Museum (Meacham Field) or Vintage Flying Museum (Meacham) — both open to public without base access.
Abilene = Dyess = B-1s. Fort Worth = Meacham = warbirds. Different cities, different collections.
