It appears that the website has not been updated since Marty Tibbetts was killed in the Venom crash in 2018. Anybody know the status of this museum? I wonder what the future holds for the aircraft after reading the news today that appears to be quite the story. Will the feds seize them and hold an auction or have they already been sold? FAA has them still registered to the museum.

From their Facebook page:

Quote:
It is with a heavy heart that we must announce that as of the end of 2020 the World Heritage Air Museum is ceasing operations and is closing its books. The aircraft have been sold or donated, the hangar cleared out and the tools put away. With the loss of our Founder and driving force, Marty Tibbitts, we are no longer able to continue the vision he created and we shared. Marty was able to move mountains and his energy and passion built the museum into an organization unlike no other. The reality is, Marty was the museum. We will miss our friend and miss the dream we all worked tirelessly to achieve. We will also miss all of you who have supported our efforts and hopefully been inspired by our mission.
We will leave the website and Facebook page up for a while and invite anyone to share their thoughts of Marty and his incredible accomplishments. In the end we encourage you to dream big and shoot for the stars.
Fly Safe and Check Six.
Tom Proctor and Zach McNeill.

TT-1 Super Pinto N13PH - "Aircraft's registration status may not be suitable for operation."
de Havilland Vampire N115DH - James Taton, Denver, CO
L-29 Delfin N29CZ - "Aircraft's registration status may not be suitable for operation."
L-29 Delfin N129DH - Red Alert Inc, Harper Woods, MI
L-29 Delfin N2047L - Jacob Riley, New York, NY
L-39 Albatross N61XX - Scouts Rest Ranch, Darby, MT
HA-200 Saeta N606HA - "Aircraft's registration status may not be suitable for operation."
HA-200 Saeta N634HA - Deregistered.
Fouga CM-170 Magister N450PS - "Aircraft's registration status may not be suitable for operation."
MiG-15 - ?????

I'm sorry when anybody dies in a plane crash.

I'm all in favor of air museums - especially if they have flying planes.

I'm not in favor of funding such "museums" with drug money.

I'd be interested in learning where the Super Pinto ended up.

I saw at at Ezell's shop circa 2004. Nelson liked the type, said it was a good flyer and had very good performance.

IIRC, The Super Pinto was one of the original Temco ships built for the Navy, it became a "Super" when a GE jet out of a Lear was installed.
