Tulsa Air and Space Museum

Tulsa Air and Space Museum brings local aircraft-manufacturing and airline history together with military hardware and spaceflight education. Exhibits connect the Spartan company’s industrial work to later American commercial and military aviation. Aircraft and collections: Oklahoma aerospace industry, transport aviation and military jets. The official catalog identifies the unique Spartan Model 12, an F-14, an American Airlines MD-80, a Gulfstream research aircraft and Bob Hoover’s Sabreliner. Weather conditions or restoration can close some interior aircraft exhibits. The entries below are selected source-attributed airframes and artifacts, not a promise that every item is accessible on the date of a visit. Collection holdings, restoration projects, replicas, partial airframes and public displays are distinguished where the institution provides sufficient evidence. Please check visitor arrangements directly with the museum.
