PAL opens country’s first civil aviation museum
The Philippine Airlines' immersive aviation museum — the first of its kind in the country — at the ground floor of the Lucio K. Tan Jr. Center in Andrews Avenue, Pasay City exhibits memorabilia like the first ticket such as this one bought by William Smith for PAL's inaugural Manila-Baguio-Manila flight. PAL's first flight as a newly incorporated airline took off from Nielson airport on 15 March 1941. There were five passengers including Smith, who flew on board a Beechcraft Model 18 for the inaugural flight.
