I had no idea this closed and I've lived here for six years! I can't believe I didn't go visit.

Surely there is enough money in this city of Houston between airlines that operate here and the oil companies that they spend most of your ticket money on to keep this open?

I believe that if we all collectively lowball them, they will drop the price to be lower than $20k.

It is unfortunate to see any museum close. I hope their assessment from the Texas Historical Commission succeeds!

I have been to this museum, it is nice. If anyone can support it, please look into it and do so. Thank you.

The rack in this image appears to house a Texas Instruments minicomputer of some model, not sure exactly which. 980 maybe? Might be fun to play with, but not for $20K.

Note the 8" floppy disk drives also.

Side note: what a stunning art deco (?) building! (There's a photo on the front page of the site.)

20k is not bad for an airplane geek. I wish I had space for these.
