I just noticed that the fleet page has been updated with a new addition to the museums aircraft, a C-43 Staggerwing!

Here is the link to the plane.

Cheers,

I helped do some research on this aircraft. Apparently it served with the Royal Navy late in the war.

Whoa! Where'd she come from? Is she a flyer? That's a hell of a plane to have in any collection!

Good on the local folks in the hometown!

Ryan,
The Beech was donated to the museum. It was due to be ferried to NY. I'm not sure if that's happened already. Yes, airworthy.

In the pictures on their website, it is sitting in front of the large hangar, so yes, it has arrived!
