That would go along nicely with the two just west of Fort Worth.

These two museums are within a stone's throw of each other.
Next time people are up for a modelling convention in Dallas or Fort Worth, these would be good places to take a side trip to.

Please add this museum to your North Texas tour. It's really a neat lil' gem in Addison.

Aggieman I am a native Texan currently living in Katy Cinco Ranch west of Houston. Never knew this museum existed. Looks like a good one, so may just need to round up the family and take a trip one weekend soon.

I didn't either, and I only live about 40 minutes away. There are several veterans who volunteer at the museum, and they can give you some interesting stories.
One, Col. Bill Halbert is a WWII, Korea and Vietnam veteran (flying B-26s, F-86s and F-100s). Ask if he's around when you visit and shake his hand. There are also a couple of aviation museums just west of Fort Worth, but I haven't had the chance to make it over there. Then there is the Global Air Power Museum in Shreveport, LA that is worth visiting.
You could make a grand tour out of that!
Thanks for the pics! It's a timely subject; I saw a feature about this museum on Texas Country Reporter, on PBS, just yesterday. I need to check it out for myself.
As promised, here are shots of the aircraft on exhibit at the HAM Museum. These include an FJ-4A Fury (looking very weather-worn), a rare aircraft. Also, an F-4D which is a Vietnam veteran. Please excuse the photography. New camera, old cameraman.
More photos of the aircraft may be found here:

Thanks for looking!
I had occasion to visit the HAM Museum in Tyler, Texas this past weekend (March 19th, 2016). This is a small museum located at the regional airport just west of Tyler, housed in the old terminal building.
For such a small museum, they have quite a number of interesting artifacts and aircraft, including some very knowledgable staff. The museum website may be found here:

It is well worth a visit if you are in the area. Here's a sampling of some of the items contained in the museum. Please excuse the photography as I was trying out a new camera and probably didn't get the indoor settings adjusted properly.
The rest of the images from the museum may be viewed at my Photobucket page here:

I'll try to get the aircraft photos from the museum and the Collings Foundation aircraft that were there soon.
