Not much
Sorry to say there is not much in the way of aircraft museums. The only one, and a very small one at that, was (I say was because it has been may years since I went and now ??) at Lago Vista airport in a large hanger. Nice small airport, on top of a large hill/ridge above lake Travis.
There is however a very nice military museum at Camp Mabry (in the middle of Austin). They have alot of historical tanks, allied and german and other cool stuff.
If you like eating food while lake watching, be sure and have a tubular taco at the Hula Hut (on Lake Austin) or watch the sunset at the Oasis (Lake Travis).
Enjoy your trip.

For a good time...
...take off at Bergstrom and fly 006 for about 80nm. Make sure to leave your radio and transponder OFF.
When you get there you'll see a swell airshow, complete with F-16s and everything. You might even get to see some live-fire demonstrations of sidewinders and other superior air power. Quite a show, but will only be going on until the 13th

FUNNY!!
mredmond,
it took me a second ( ) but that was Funny!! with all going on right now, doing that would get you some up close views of nice modern hardware.
Forgot who was asking but if you have time, travel to Fredericksburg (T82), and visit nimitz and pacific war musuems. Will take some time. Also, if you like F1 rockets, you are real close. They are in Taylor tx. just outside Austin. i would call first
once again LOL
good luck
