Title: The planes I didn't get to see. :(

I was suppose to visit the National Warplane Museum in Elmira, NY.  They, unfortunatly, suspended operations in Sept. due to budget problems.  Which really sucked.  :(

Looks like they have a great collection though.

Was a member of the museum for 10 years, before it moved from Genneso NY to Elmira. I could write volumes about why this has happened. I'd call it, Killin the Golden Goose.

Apparently the museum is 3.5 million in debt!  Cripes, I hope they get financing.  My wife and I are going back in the spring.  I hope it's open then.
