Area 51 Refugee – Close Encounters of the Blackbird Kind! from Parrothead Jeff
Did that title get your attention?
These pics are a couple of years old now, but I hope to add some more new ones in the next year or so.  All were taken at the March Field Air Museum in southern California on a couple of different visits.  There are no Blackbirds in or near Las Vegas, so I have to travel to southern Arizona or California to see one.  I’m hoping to go visit Glenn sometime in early 2011 and maybe we can get over to the Blackbird Air Park in Palmdale, but until then these will have to do ...

from Flightstory.net - Aviation Blog

From Aviation Collection to Aviation Museum - Job Conger
On May 25, the general manager of a Fixed Base Operator (FBO) at Abraham Lincoln Capital Airport (SPI) visited AeroKnow, a collection of aviation photographs, model kits, built models, books, magazines and memorabilia I have nurtured and maintained since about 1965 when the plan started coming together. I had just graduated high school at the time. Rob Fisher’s visit the 25th followed two weeks after a tour by Mark Hanna, executive director of the airport, who had spent almost three hours viewing it. As Rob departed to return to work, he told me I was welcome to begin setting things up in the room I had visited earlier in the month. I had been waiting to hear those words since I was 18 years old.
When does a collection become a museum? When it has a place to display its history that’s not “in some guy’s house.” ...
