site for the new educational museum in Colorado springs. Adjacent to Westpac Restorations

and Westpacs website

www.westpacrestorations.com

Interesting museum idea. I like the setup. Looks very interactive. Anyone know if Westpac owns anything other than the P-47 and B-25?

Any events scheduled for the Denver Metro area in the future?

I know that the colorado springs airport is having a show sometime late summer early fall. Other than the Doolittle reunion in Dayton I don't know of any other shows we are scheduled for as of yet. Probably hit a few as they come up.

I only have an approximate location for Westpac...
Aerial Visuals - Location Dossier - Westpac Restorations
...can anyone help me with the exact location? To do so just right click on the map at the exact location and copy the coordinates presented in a reply here or a PM.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Mike

Mike, go all the way up(north) on Aviation Way. See the checkerboard hangers? Bingo!!

I saw a brief article about this museum recently, but hadn't heard really anything about it because it has been "under the radar" until now. What an exciting museum! Wow, check out that board of directors! It's like a "who's who" of famous leaders. With that kind of direction, they can't be anything but successful!

One question - according to the website, the museum still needs a LOT of money for completion - approximately $12 Million. How in the world is the museum going to generate that amount of money? Now, given our poor economy, is a tough time to raise that amount of funding. Are there any corporate sponsorships, state/federal funding, or anything else that might help ease them towards their goal?

I'm in awe, and I wish those guys the very best of luck! It will be a world class museum when completed!

It'd be great to have you guys up at our little airshow at BJC at the end of August: http://www.cosportaviation.org
