It's a great museum.

They have a really cool Packard 2500 series engine on display. I want to get the information on that engine from them but they've not responded back yet. I hope they have blue prints.

The Felixstowe F2. A hybrid of the Curtiss H-12 and British built Felixstowe Hull during WWI

I personally would love to get a chance to fly in something like this.

That’s so badass. P-51 is my most favoriteist plane ever, especially that particular paint scheme.

My aunt lives close to here. Used to go there every summer. They had a folker tri plane and a sopwith camel. They used to do a whole snoopy and the red barron duel in the sky. It was awesome. Have not been there in 30 years but I bet it's still worth it.

Never made it up there. I did find these pictures from the last time the WW2 planes came to town. Got there too late to do the ride on the bomber but I have a cool vid or them starting the engines on the place in the last pic. Must have been amazing hearing a squadron fly overhead.
