The Lone Star Flight Museum in Galveston will close this month to move to a larger site at Ellington Airport in Houston to better withstand Gulf storms. The $38 million complex features a 130,000 square foot building with interactive exhibits and is set to open in September. The museum opened in 1990 at Scholes International Airport and was later linked to the Texas Aviation Hall of Fame. It was flooded by six feet of water during Hurricane Ike in 2008.
