If you're ever in the Dallas area, don't forget to visit the Silent Wings museum in Terrell (KTRL)

Oh scratch that...

If you're ever in the Lubbock area, don't forget to visit the Silent Wings museum in Lubbock (KLBB)
The first Silent Wings Museum opened to the public on November 10, 1984 in Terrell, Texas. By 1997, the pilots realized that a more permanent museum home was needed. Lubbock, where a majority of the glider pilots had trained, offered to provide a new site for the museum. The pilots selected Lubbock as the new location and the Terrell site closed in January 2001. In October 2002, the former South Plains Army Airfield site opened the new Silent Wings Museum with the restored CG-4A glider as a centerpiece of the exhibits.
