Air Museum to Open in Santa Monica from The Kathryn Report by TheKathrynReport | The new Museum of Flying opens in spring 2010 on the south side of the Santa Monica (Calif.) Airport, directly adjacent to the DC-3 Aircraft Monument and park. The museum will place heavy emphasis on Douglas aircraft and the history of the Santa Monica Airport. Originally founded in 1974 by Donald Douglas Jr. as the Douglas Museum and Library, the museum reopened as the Museum of Flying in April of 1989. The museum gradually grew to a collection of more than 50 vintage aircraft with many still in flight-ready condition. The new museum will feature nearly two dozen aircraft chronicling the beginning of flight – from a replica Wright Flyer all the way to the jet age, with the BD-5 micro jet and the FedEx 727 nose section. The museum will also feature a broad collection of aviation art and rare artifacts. www.museumofflying.com

MAAM WWII Airshow and Re-enactments 2008
This is something that I have been planning the entire summer- a trip to the Mid-Atlantic Air Museum off of Van Reed Rd and Route 183 in Reading, PA. The show is touted as the best WWII re-enactment show in the world, as well as a fabulous collection of aircraft privatly owned and generously flown out and displayed at the museum. As my first show, I thought that it was absoloutely fantastic. In fact that does not sum up the show- the event gets you that much closer to the history of World War II

A real treat from Neptunus Lex by lex
As I hinted earlier, Tailspin Tom offered your correspondent the right seat of a C-45H from Palomar all the way up to French Valley, near Riverside. Hating to let a good man down, I reluctantly said, “Sure!” An uneventful toodle up the 5, and and eager transit back towards the private hangars until, there she is. The first thing that strikes you is what a beautifully maintained machine the Beech Belle is. And then your eyes are inevitably drawn to those two, big Pratt and Whitney R-985s, each of them holding 450 trembling horses in check. These were built when Wildcats and Hellcats ruled the skies. It can make a man ret pondersome.
