Good News for the Yankee Air Museum: Purchase Agreement In the Works. Museum officials stated yesterday that they are currently drafting a purchase agreement, and are confident that all parties will sign the document within the next week or so.

Very exciting. I look forward to visiting again soon and seeing the progress.

I can only hope that our own museum will be able to get to this point regarding the Vought / Textron / Allied Signal plant. Time will tell!

Long road ahead, but it is very exciting to see that this piece of the Arsenal of Democracy will live on.

Lets pray that this years TOM will be a safe and exciting show for everyone and a celebration of Yankee's future.

A big congrats to them! To bad they never were able to restore a B-24 but maybe in the future.

It's good news indeed!

The team at Warbirds News is proud to have helped them to promote this campaign. Throughout the duration of it we have sent almost 50K visitors to the savethebomberplant.org website, our social media posts about the campaign reached almost 350K people and 4K likes. Although we can't track the donations made from the visitors we sent, we'd like to think that maybe few hundred dollars were raised thanks to our effort.

This is why Warbirds News was creatged, this is our mission.

I was referring to the B-24 out in the Aelutians that they at one point wanted to salvage.
