| Hello from Colorado Hello everyone! Thought I'd do a quick introduction. I'm a daughter of a WWII vet, married into WWII aircraft restorations and am currently helping with a new upcoming WWII aircraft museum out here in Colorado. I found this site while looking for ideas and others who are also interested in our WWII heritage - which I might add this site is the best I've found thus far!  So much to learn and read here! I can't wait to get caught up... if that's possible  ~M~ |

| Thank you all for the warm welcome! Hi FLYBOYJ, no the museum will be at COS airport. Ground will be breaking soon for it and it will be awesome to say the least! I wasn't sure about giving the name of it and if that would be considered spam? I seen what you all do to spammers and it ain't pretty. If yes, then please feel free to shoot me a PM and I can tell you more. |

| The National Museum of WWII Aviation. Have you heard of it? The closest model for the museum is the National World War II museum in New Orleans that was the vision of the historian Stephen Ambrose. Quote:

| Greetings AuntieM from a wet and cold Michigan. You are right about what we do to spammers. It is about like being a target at a machine gun free fire range! Post all you can about your new musuem. We are the people that will find a way to visit. Once you break ground, please start a thread and post pictures of how things are going. And post plans of what you envision the museum to become. The moderators should make that a "Sticky" for you. I am sure I won't be the only one that would enjoy seeing the progress. If you want input on some idea, share it. We will give you many to pick from! And forget getting caught up. There is too much going on here to keep up with unless reading this forum is all you want to do! Bill G. |
