In 1984, the United States Air Force no longer needed the old Administration building that sat on McConnell Air Force Base, and the doors were locked and the building abandoned. At the same time, the Wichita Aeronautical Historical Association was searching for a facility to open a museum. The former municipal airport terminal seemed the perfect choice. The property was eventually acquired by the City of Wichita and is currently being leased to the museum's Board of Trustees. Undaunted volunteers entered the building in the late 1980s with wheelbarrows and shovels and began the arduous task of cleaning an abandoned historic building. The museum opened on April 19, 1991 to showcase Kansas aviation history.
