Harvest Hosts Camping at the Texas Air Museum in San Antonio
On this Airstream Life vLog, we pack up the Airstream and leave the Travelers World RV Resort in San Antonio but our moving day is only 10 minutes! Shortest moving day ever!
We are staying the night at the Texas Air Museum - Stinson as part of the Harvest Host program. Our host told us to make ourselves and the Airstream comfortable on the grassy area by the parking lot and then to come on over to register as a Harvest Host (don't forget to bring your card with you!) and check out the museum.
The museum is $4 cash per person and totally worth a stop. We learned so much history about the area, the Stinson sisters, airplanes and more! Many of the artifacts in this museum are donated from specific families and it tells actuals stories with them. I loved both reading the stories and hearing the volunteers talk passionately about history. If you like planes or armed forces history this is a must stop!
After the museum, we spent a quiet night and morning on the property before packing up to move up to Austin. We are so glad Harvest Hosts gave us the opportunity to stay here and experience this museum!
But first, the BBQ Capital of Texas in the next video.

The terminal building was built between 1935-1936. The building was remodeled and expanded in 2006-2008 but retains much of its original integrity. During WWII the airfield was used by the military as a training base. At the end of the war the airfield was returned to the city for civil use and now serves as the reliever for San Antonio International Airport.

Katherine Stinson Documentary for the San Diego Air & Space Museum

Katherine Stinson (1917)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Katherine Stinson (February 14, 1891, in Fort Payne, Alabama-- July 8, 1977, in Santa Fe, New Mexico) was an early female flier. She was the fourth woman in the United States to obtain a pilot's certificate, which she earned on July 24, 1912, at the age of 21 while residing in Pine Bluff, AR. Initially, she planned to get her certificate and use money she earned from exhibition flying to pay for her music lessons. However, she found she liked flying so much that she gave up her piano career and decided to become an aviatrix. In January 1911, Stinson went to St. Louis to take flight lessons from Tony Jannus who only allowed her to fly as a passenger. She then took her flying lessons from the well-known aviator Max Lille, who initially refused to teach her because she was female. But she persuaded him to give her a trial lesson and was so good that she flew alone after only four hours of instruction. A year after receiving her certificate, she began exhibition flying. On the exhibition circuit, she was known as the Flying Schoolgirl.
After she received her certificate, Stinson and her family moved to San Antonio, Texas, an area with an ideal climate for flying. There, she and her sister Marjorie began giving flying instruction at her family's aviation school in Texas. On July 18, 1915, Stinson became the first woman to perform a loop, at Cicero Field in Chicago, Illinois, and went on to perform this feat some 500 times without a single accident. She also was one of the first women authorized to carry airmail for the United States. During World War I, Stinson flew a Curtiss JN-4D Jenny and a Curtiss Stinson-Special (a single seat version of the JN aircraft built to her specifications) for fundraising tours for the American Red Cross. During exhibition flights in Canada, Stinson set a Canadian distance and endurance record, and made the second air mail flight in Canada between Calgary and Edmonton, Alberta.
Of note is the fact that all of her stunt flying was done in aircraft using the Wright control system which uses two side-mounted levers for pitch and roll, with top mounted controls for throttle and yaw.
The Stinson School closed in 1917, and Katherine became an ambulance driver for the Red Cross in Europe. There, she contracted influenza, which turned into tuberculosis in 1920, causing her retirement from aviation. In 1928, she married airman Miguel Antonio Otero, Jr., son of the former territorial governor of New Mexico. Although she could no longer fly, she worked as an architect for many years in Santa Fe, New Mexico. She died in 1977 at the age of 86.

San Antonio
San Antonio (/ˌsænænˈtoʊni.oʊ/ Spanish for Saint Anthony), officially the City of San Antonio, is the seventh most populous city in the United States of America and the second most populous city in the state of Texas, with a population of 1.3 million. It was the fastest growing of the top 10 largest cities in the United States from 2000-2010, and the second from 1990-2000. The city is located in the American Southwest, the south–central part of Texas, and the southwestern corner of an urban region known as the Texas Triangle.
San Antonio serves as the seat of Bexar County. The city has characteristics of other western urban centers in which there are sparsely populated areas and a low density rate outside of the city limits. San Antonio is the center of the San Antonio–New Braunfels Metropolitan Statistical Area. Commonly referred to as Greater San Antonio, the metropolitan area has a population of over 2.23 million based on the 2012 U.S. Census estimate, making it the 25th-largest metropolitan area in the United States and third-largest in the state of Texas. Growth along the Interstate 35 and Interstate 10 corridors to the north, west and east make it likely that the metropolitan area will continue to expand.
