I hear ya Kurt...
I lived in Addison, TX. a few years back (not far from HT).. they had (have?) a really nice museum. (Cavanaugh I think it is).
Anyway, I went by there a couple times, and ran into a couple of those guys walking around on one visit. Pretty incredible to hear their stories.
I HAVE to get back down there, assuming it's still there. Only lived 1-1/2 miles from it, but never had (made) as much time as I wanted to go over there. They used to take people up in a Camel or Texan A6 for like $125. Never got to do that either...
I'm still only 3 hours north of there, so I don't have any real excuses for not visiting again assuming it's still open to the public ('cept for family, work, etc... )
