New NWM Website (AND acquires MARC C-47)

Tue Nov 18, 2025 1:46 pm

The National Warplane Museum recently posted on their FB page that their website was overhauled.
Take a look here! https://nationalwarplanemuseum.com

Much more insightful and useful (I'd say). Interesting note under the MARC C-47:

In 2004, the aircraft was flown to Geneseo under a ferry permit and has remained on static display ever since. In 2025, it was donated to the National Warplane Museum by MARC, becoming a permanent part of the Museum’s collection. Plans are underway for a static restoration, which will include exterior repainting, weatherproofing, animal-proofing, and interior control surface refurbishment. Once completed, the aircraft will stand as a fully restored static display, allowing visitors to experience one of WWII’s most vital transport aircraft up close.

Shame to see she will continue to be a static display (but I understand). I always figured it'd be awesome to see two D-Day C-47s operate from Geneseo. And not only just selling rides, but maybe a whole paratrooper boot camp experience (like the WWII Airborne Demonstration Team does out in Oklahoma)

They've done a nice job with the new website, I always like when a museum will include individual history for each aircraft rather then generic info for the type.
