| The Museum's B-17, "Chuckie" |
I've written of this magnificent jewel of an air museum before, it is truly a wonderful place. Particularly as many of the aircraft in their collection are flyable!
Is there anything we can do to save this jewel of the South?
If you have ideas, let me know.
I love that museum. It would truly suck to see it go away.

it is my understanding that the money he made from his technical schools was used to support the museum.

I grok that. What can we, as private citizens do, (if anything) to keep this place going?
DeleteWell, THAT sucks. (He said, displaying his immediate grasp of the obvious.)
ReplyDeleteIndeed. It sucks greatly!
DeleteI'm willing to adopt that museum and move it up here if donations can be raised. Got 8,500 feet of runway for those flyable exhibits. And naturally, planes feel bad when not flown, so in the interest of taking good care of them and keeping them happy...
ReplyDeleteThat's what I like about you, always willing to step up and help.
DeleteAnd you've already got the guard dog. (How does Murphy feel about guarding airplanes? Can he put in the extra time? That is when he's not intervening in domestic disputes...)
