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

  • B-1B Lancer (Dyess hosts 28 — largest B-1 fleet)
  • C-130 Hercules variants
  • Historic fighters: F-86, F-100, F-105, F-111, A-10
  • Missiles, drones, ground equipment

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.
