field trip: TWA Museum

Yesterday I had a day off, so I took some time to explore a new (to me) museum: the TWA Museum at the Downtown Kansas City Airport. It's a tiny museum, but for a $5 admission, I think it's worth it. It's right next to the Airline History Museum, which has a separate admission, so I decided to save that for another day. Maybe the two should consider getting together...

 They used wicker chairs in the first planes in the 1930s

 Much of the museum was a timeline of flight attendant uniforms, and the 1968 outfit was definitely my favorite!

 This fan had English-Japanese translations on it
