I like this part in the link you gave:

"Plans are centered on the new Museum facility and the 4,250 foot runway that will support both museum flight operations as well as serve the private aviation needs of both museum visitors and local aviators. "

I wonder if Yanks plans on expanding their flight operations by operating more of their aircraft when they get there?

BTW, I've been hearing about this move or rather, expansion, to Greenfield since at least the early 90's. I think that is a VERY LONG RANGE plan.

Hey Roger, Great to meet you out there. Yanks is pretty firm on their hours. I was out there two years ago and they were closed on Veterans day because it was on a Monday. I thought that was really wierd. You should definitely make plans to go there though. With the expansion of the museum, you can get some pretty good shots and they have some really nice stuff from the thirties and forties.

Thanks Chris, we are already talking about making a trip down that way again, maybe in the fall when temps are cooler.
