The terminal was built in 1941 and was Colorado Springs first airport terminal. It has stylized eagle entryway and art deco architectural detailed features.
Adjacent to the air base is this structure..."Airplane Restaurant" Covering the walls, nooks, crannies from the ceiling to floor are artifacts of flight, signed photographs and amazing history. You can be served on the plane in retrofitted booths.
Interesting shots taken by my DS. This museum had artifacts from WWII to the Cold War. The evolution of flight and communications was interesting. In the Broadmoor hangar, you will find displays, a fighter, and a test simulator for airmen going to missile silo duty.
