Those are all interesting...was curious about the photo taken @ Kalispell. Is this at the big airport on the North end of town? (May be the only one in the area)
If so, there's a yellow T-6 (SNJ) and a beautiful F4U-5NL hangared there also.

The airport I was at in Kalispell was on the south end of the town...

Ryan, the last time I was at Billings, rather up at the airport there, was last year, and I could see the tails of two B-26's....as I had the trailer with me, I was limited as to where I could go....I will be making a lot of runs to Billings this summer, so will drop the trailer and head up the hill and get a closer look...

By the way....still ready to run the WIX logo on the sides of my truck...I'll be in Phoenix soon to kick Pooner's ash, so lets get together and get some decals made!!!!

That's the Miracle of America museum in Poulson, MT. It is a really neat museum with the most eclectic collection of stuff you will ever see. He has a nice collection of military equipment from all the wars including some nice aviation articles. A great motorcycle collection and also enough stuff to interest the wife or girlfriend while you are looking at the cool stuff. Plan on spending several hours there. Well worth the time to visit.

You should have kept going north of kalispell to see my bosses collection. Next time call me and I will give you a tour.
There are two airports in Kalispell, the one in the picture is the city airport.
Glacier International is to the north of town.

There is also a musuem at Malmstrom AFB (Great Falls). I was stationed there when it was still Great Falls AFB. Last visited it in 1998.

Mike;
Your boss does have nice collection, I remember reading about it in one of the monthly airplane/ corporate mags. Has he added anything new? That is awsome country up there in your neck of the woods.

We dont have anything new since the seafire.
We are kind of looking for a good B-25.
