There is also the Wings of History Air Museum at the South County Airport
(south of San Jose in San Martín). It's even smaller and cheaper than Hiller,
but also has some interesting stuff, including some old gliders. Most
interesting, though, is the wood propeller shop where they walk you through and
explain the process from start to finish. Even the ones that "didn't work out"
are works of art suitable for any livingroom wall (well, maybe some might not
appreciate that...).
