PICS! American Wings Air Museum

[Eric Friedebach]

I was doing some stuff up at ANE recently – here are some pictures from the American Wings Air Museum.

More info about the museum on their website.

They have a lot of Mohawks







This was some kind of trainer:























The Stoof is a flyer, it's just waiting to get the props back from the shop.







Oh, did I mention they have some Mohawks?

Dang, how many mowhawks do they have?

[mustangdriver]

Cool place man.

[Eric Friedebach]

Dang, how many mowhawks do they have?

To be honest, I had to go back and count them in my own pictures; 8 airframes plus the two cockpit section displays.

Not to say I got them all, though!

Whazzat?

[SCOTT G]

They don't call it the HOME OF THE MOHAWKS for nothing.

Is the in-line engine airplane, a French Halcyon?

I am glad to see the STECO there! I wondered what had happened to it, when the museum in Owatonna closed its doors.

Thank you for sharing your pictures.


Saludos,

I know this sounds bad, but I don’t recall at the moment.

You might recognize the prop, it’s a 12D40, with the rear half of a T-6 spinner. What looks like zinc chromate on the cowl is actually new Fiberglass. The workmanship is just amazing!

The French plane is an MS.733 Alcyon

WHat about the wacked A7 paint scheme "Blue Slufs?"

For those interested, KANE's open house aka Discover Aviation Days is on this year. May 19 + 20. A chance to see these and other unique birds in the air.

Ah, the second picture of the T-41 brings back memories as that is the first type of plane I had flight time in. Thanks for sharing the pics.

I kinda thought so, too, but somebody told me it was an S-2…
