ST. LOUIS - s4story -- The National Museum of Transportation invites aviation enthusiasts, families and businesses to become a lasting part of its expanding Aviation Plaza by purchasing one of 300 available legacy bricks.

The plaza will feature the first Super Hornet ever built—the F/A-18 E1—alongside a Harrier Jump Jet and a Phantom MiG Killer. As plans take shape, the plaza will celebrate St. Louis' extraordinary contributions to aviation, recognizing the ingenuity and dedication of the men and women whose work at McDonnell Douglas and Boeing helped shape aviation history.

Legacy bricks offer a meaningful way to honor a loved one, recognize a company, commemorate a family's aviation connections or celebrate a lifelong passion for flight. Each personalized brick will become part of a space dedicated to preserving these remarkable aircraft and the stories of the people behind them.
