For fans of the PBS documentary “Fighter Pilots Story” this name will look familiar.

Pioneer Village, Minden, NE
I was passing through and didn’t know what to expect. The place is actually really cool and worth a visit. They really have a lot of everything! If you go give yourself lots of time.

This place is definitely worth a visit. There was plenty to see and the lady on staff had a nice video for me to watch on the history of Kansas Aviation which was pretty good. The airplanes outside are a little ratty but like so many other places it’s hard to find homes for everything inside.

I really like the Clipper model that’s hanging from the ceiling. The props even spin.

The P-51 on a stick, taken at Volk Field, was a former Minn. ANG Mustang that had a ground accident during summer camp there, so it was decided to put it on display instead of repairing it back in the 1950s.

Who knows, if it hadn't had an accident, it might have survived only to go to the scrap heap later.
