The fellow who started it owned a trucking company that specialized in wide load hauls and he had a buddy who was a retired General. So that and a 501(c)3 meant a nice little collection going.
I’m not sure if it’s still around.
Mercer Air Field was part of the World Aircraft Museum that closed in the late 80s. Most of the planes have since been sold off and the ones left are rotting in the elements. Here is what was left a couple of years ago:

I must have driven past this place a couple hundred times always in a hurry to get to Atlanta and never stopped.
