Fields of corn suddenly give way to finely mown grass and in the
sunlight bright airsocks flutter over what becomes apparent is a private
airstrip. Nearby in a seemingly
endless series of huge interconnected sheds are hundreds of airplanes, their
parts and memorabilia. From fading
photographs smile the enthusiasts who designed, hand-built and piloted all
these machines before donating them to the Airpower Museum. Complete planes are wheeled up to one
another with wings and tails interleaved, drones and gliders hang from the
rafters, and racks of propellers stand opposite glass cabinets filled with
unique scale models. Wing frames
are hooked to the walls and an experimental amphibious plane sits adjacent to a
circa World War II flight simulator.
Bolted to heavy, solid stands are various configurations of radial
engine waiting to once again spin into action.
