Our Story
In 1950, Sidney Shannon Jr. founded Shannon Airport. Shannon was an aviation enthusiast with a business background. He inherited his love for aviation from his father, Sid Shannon Sr., who co-founded Eastern Airlines with WWI Ace, Eddie Rickenbacker.
Shannon Airport was a landmark general aviation airport where regular events, airshows, and fly-ins were held. People from all over the community and beyond would attend.
In the mid 70s, Shannon Jr. opened the Shannon Air Museum...
Our historic DC3,
The SHANNON AIR EXPRESS
Its history dates all the way back to 1940, when this classic airliner rolled off the assembly line and was sold to Braniff International Airlines.
