The new Delta Flight Museum is a 68,000 square-foot facility at the airline's world headquarters in Atlanta. Housed in the airline's two original maintenance hangars dating from the 1940s, the museum traces Delta's history and the development of commercial aviation. The museum contains exhibits filled with hundreds of items many of which have never been on public display chronicling more than eight decades of Delta history. The museum houses five historic aircraft including The Spirit of Delta, a Boeing 767 purchased for the company by employees in 1982. Also on display is a DC-3, Ship 41, that flew for Delta and was restored by Delta employees and volunteers. Visitors can try the ultimate aviation experience and pilot a Boeing 737-200 full-motion simulator, the only one open to the public in the U.S. The hangars also serve as unique event venues, with state-of-the-art audio and video capability and full catering services that can accommodate a seated dinner for as many as 1,200.
