Champlin Fighter Aces Museum Art Collection

[Fencer]

Does anyone know what happened to the art collection which was on display at the Champlin museum?

Also does anyone know the sources of those paintings, they were some of the best aviation art (next to Wade Meyers) that I have seen and I have never seen them anywhere else.

They seemed to be focused on the planes in the collection, as there was one of the Fw-190D13 coming in to surrender and P-38s straffing a Soviet convoy etc..

I wonder if the art went to the Museum of Flight with the collection of planes?

Maybe they're hanging on the walls of the wing where those planes are displayed. If you had a good flashlight, you could even see them.
