The magazines and newspapers can report whatever they want to. Yes people are looking at the collection some will be sold but not many, only 2 so far. We will keep the majority of our planes and the Military Aviation Museum will stay open for buisness and that is from the top dog himself. I am going to keep bouncing on this site to curb the rumors...................... I do not have the right to say just what planes will go until they leave the museum. The B17 and FW 190 A8/N are the two that have been sold. All the other planes are still dripping oil in our hangars....yes we close at 5pm but we will re-open at 9am the next morning.

Dave, I'm really glad to hear that.

Let's hope so. And I wish reporters would get things right - for example, the description of the Mosquito and the FW190.(But then, if they could do things right, they wouldn't be reporters!)
Hope all goes well...

Hoping and praying Dave is right. MAM is one of my all-time favourite air museums - it's up there with the Cavanaugh Museum, Duxford and Shuttleworth. Absolutely top-notch place not just for the machines but also for the support given to veterans and for the educational programmes they offer. Please, please, PLEASE let it stay open!!!
Good to hear Dave. Keep us informed.

I will not report anything until the plane flies away for good. Chuckie the B-17 left yesterday. I helped pulled the props through in the pouring rain, and off she went to a good new owner who will keep her in the air. She will be sorely missed! Other than that it was buisness as usual today at the museum.
I hope this is just a growth pain and that they will stay as an East Coast "Planes of Fame"

If I won the lottery, the entire fleet would be mine, and left where it's at.
