One that is tied to the respective fortunes of both Arizona and Clarkdale; producing over 100 billion pounds of copper. One focused on what happened to all of Arizona’s copper, and its incredible journey that spanned the globe. One that makes perfect sense to this community and the Copper State.

Border Air Museum
Douglas, Arizona

History, Specialized

Douglas has many "firsts" in aviation history. The one that tops the list is the fact that we were the first international airport of the Americas. One could fly into Douglas and taxi into Mexico and vice-Aversa. Aviation was an important part of the evolution of Douglas and was almost lost if it were not for Richard Westbrook and his wife Irma. Richard was a 1949 Douglas High School graduate who went on to work for NASA. Richard was inducted in 1993 into the NASA Hal of fame To give you insight on his wonderful gift is to walk in and see and feel the treasures he left to the community of Douglas. Many pilots who have visited the museum have told us what a well done collection and arrangement of air history he did.
