War Eagles Air Museum

[Clifford Bossie]

I thought the city had no interest in flying anything since Mr. McGuire has passed on and deeded the aircraft to them?

He gave the city all those a/c Holy cr*p!
So when the city budget hits the red zone are the airplanes for sale

No, the city does not own the airplanes. War Eagles is the usual 501C foundation.

I must have interpreted that wrong

Thanks once more and for the clarification , I thought I had heard some time ago that was the case and that they had no interest what so ever in flying anything period. So the L-5 was roaded into the museum?

The L-5 actually flew the short distance from El Paso International to Santa Teresa, but after arriving at 5T6 it probably won't fly again anytime soon.

Hi Clifford, was wondering if they are ever gonna get the Mustang that's in the jig finished up? Is it being worked on? Thanks

[old chuck]

steve, the mustang we had in the jig was sold long time ago,about 2 years.I think if someone goes to our web site and looks in the archives all question will be answered..war-eagles-air-museum.com is the site.thanks for the interist..

Was the Mustang in the jig the project that later became Sweet and Lovely?

Those are great photos and the P-38 story is quite interesting. Do they fly it much? There is a clip of it making a low overhead pass on Youtube, but I'm not sure when it's from. What is the twin engine job on the ramp?

[Matt Gunsch]

They used to fly them all. until a local lawyer showed up and threatened them.......

as far as the plane on the ramp, then internet can be a great source of information, as can the museums website, I believe it will answer your question.

Matt G. - There's no reason to be so snobby... we all wonder why we don't have more new contributors here, it's attitudes like that.
