Wheels, Wings, and Warbirds

A hometown celebration of everything with an engine.

Saturday, October 10, 2026 · 10 AM to 2 PM · Walk in free

Planes, cars, and motorcycles. One Saturday on the museum grass.

Wheels, Wings, and Warbirds is a free day at Texas Air Museum on Slaton Municipal Airport (F49) for anyone who loves machines. Pilots fly in. Neighbors drive in their cars and trucks and ride in on their bikes. The museum's warbirds are already out on the grass.

Walk around, look close, and talk shop with the people who built, restored, and fly them. It is not an airshow. The good stuff is parked where you can walk right up to it.
