The Flight of the Phoenix Aviation Museum is an aviation museum located at Gilmer Municipal Airport in Gilmer, Texas.

History The museum was founded by Steve Dean, the owner of Dean Lumber Company, in 1994. The museum hangar was originally built mainly to house the company's aircraft and provide an example of how its products could be used.

A T-37 was added to the museum in 2010. The following year, it planned to purchase an F-100F. In 2013, a L-26C that was used as an Air Force One was flown to the museum.

Exhibits Exhibits at the museum include a Link Trainer.
