MAAM P-61 Fundraising campaign

[TAdan]

Looks like the Mid Atlantic Air Museum has launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise $35,000 to cover the cost of new wing spars.

Bump, looks like they are going to need a serious boost if they are going to make their deadline. I've got my fingers crossed.

Did my part.

[Dan Jones]

Bump. Me too. This just landed in my mail.

"Pardon the "News" pun, but for all of our supporters outside of Central Pennsylvania, we got a bit of surprise yesterday.

Our friends at York Daily Record really helped us out again--> in a big way. Yesterday, Center of Front page (above the fold!), was the story of Mid-Atlantic Air Museum's incredible journey recovering the P-61. The Kickstarter even got a shout out! Full the full article, you can read here:

Thanks again, YDR.

Keep going guys! We're over halfway there

Kim and I donated yesterday.

-- at 72, I selfishly hope I live long enough to see the P-61 fly.

A couple of years ago I was given an old FlyPast magazine from May, 1985. It shows how far the magazine has come since then, there are only 4 pages in color.
In it, there is a small article with news of the P-61s discovery and the MAAM's plan to restore it. It's probably the first mention of the find/project in an international publication.

Here's the deal, I'll donate it to the museum for their library (if they need/want it) or to anyone else in return for a donation to the project (to be made directly to them).
I'll pay the postage to you...

[TAdan]

Very generous of you John. I bet the museum would love to have it.

I just increased my pledge a bit, but I'll let another/new donor make the call.
