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

Thanks once more and for the clarification :oops: :oops: , 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.

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?

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.
