I recently had a chance to visit the "Silent Wings Museum" in Lubbock, TX for the first time. I don't know how many of you have had that opportunity, but it is well worth visiting. I've posted some pictures here to give you an idea what is available.

There is much, much more at this museum. If you are interested in US WWII military gliders, this is the place to go. Lubbock is in the Texas Pandhandle, which is central to almost anywhere in the US:lol:.

Their website is:

Silent Wings Museum

Fascinating Museum. Good Photos. In the background of your 'Griswold' nose photo is a large 3-view of what I think is the Cornelius XFG-1. It has to be one the most 'futuristic' looking gliders of the Second World War.
