First for a Collings Tour Stop!

Sun Mar 13, 2011 1:31 am

Today was a busy day for the Collings Foundation!
The tour stopped in Tyler, TX and the community came out in force!
For the first time one of their jets joined a tour stop!
If you happen to be out in the Tyler area I would recommend a stop at the The Historic Aviation Memorial Museum (tour host)
It is a very nice small museum with some very nice items on display.

Crowd shot.

LeTourneau from 01-06... If only I had realized that engineering wasn't for me and aviation was right away...

Lynn,

For the right amount of Cubic Dollars the F-4 will show up anywhere you want it to....

I think the folks at the Historic Aviation Memorial Museum in Tyler either took up a collection or they had a donor to make it happen.

$$$$$$$$$

JimH is not on tour at the moment. I believe he is going to join up a little later on the tour.

Roger that... For 12.5K that would look nice in the log book but seeing a Hawker recurrent is 13.5K, that would be a really hard sale to the boss..... :wink:
