The MATS Academy

The CR Smith Museum is a must-visit for anyone interested in American Airlines' history. The interactive exhibits are designed to engage visitors of all ages, and there are hundreds of historical artifacts, photographs, and full-scale aircraft engines to explore. One of the museum's highlights is the rare Douglas DC-3 airliner and the state-of-the-art 4K digital theater that features Pursuit of Flight, a film that takes you on a journey through the history and physics of aviation from ancient times to today. The museum does an excellent job of preserving the history of American Airlines and giving visitors an inside look at what it takes to run the airline, as told through the perspective of the team members who work there.
