The 1940 Air Terminal Museum at Hobby Airport partnered with local artist Gonzo247 to paint a 1969 Hawker jet. The three dimensional art installation features Gonzo247’s colorful design and Houston history hidden in the mural artwork. The jet resides in the museum’s entrance.

Gonzo247 uses art to educate communities about graffiti art through engagement, advocacy and street art mural tours.
