Old war birds never die - they just become attractions
at the Flying Tigers Warbird Air Museum. The working aircraft
restoration facility is nicknamed "Bomber-town USA" because
most of the planes here are bombers. Once they are
operational, they are usually flown away by private
collectors, but the museum also houses a permanent collection
of about 30 vintage planes in its hangar, with a few big ones
out on the tarmac.
The Flying Tigers Warbird Restoration Museum allows
visitors a chance to see, smell and touch the history that
many only heard about on newsreels in the forties or read
about in the classrooms generations later.
Here you
can see the restoration process take place and the
metamorphosis of these once forgotten hulks of history back to
their former glory and then taken out to stretch their wings
again right over the museum for all to see and hear!
