Missouri History Museum - Flight City: St. Louis Takes to the Air
June 2007 - September 2008
Little Pilots was honored to feature our F4 Phantom as part of the Flight City Exhibit at the Missouri History Museum since June 2007. Our plane was viewed by thousands of aviation enthusiasts from St. Louis and all over the world! What an opportunity this was for us to shake hands with Mr. Sandy McDonnell and invite him to sit in the seat of our plane. Mr. McDonnell is the former chairman & CEO of McDonnell Douglas and was involved in the development of the F4 fighter jet. Read on for further information about this exhibit.
“Flight City: St. Louis Takes to the Air,” a thrilling and comprehensive exploration of the history of flight in St. Louis, allows museum visitors of all ages to experience the exhilarating moments when hot-air balloons, airships and airplanes first soared over our city. Historic photographs, personal stories, gallery activities and treasures from the Missouri History Museum’s collections chronicle our region’s relationship with aviation — from the earliest roots through the 20th century zenith. Visitors will learn about the men and women who let their imagination and sense of adventure take flight: aviators who awed the public with daredevil stunts and entrepreneurs who launched businesses to support the growing culture of aeronautics. Organized by the Missouri History Museum, the exhibition also examines how aviation — and the demands for bigger, better, and faster modes of flight — forever changed St. Louis’ economy, environment and identity.
