The High Sky Wing

Work on the MAAF Museum, scheduled for a grand opening on Feb 6, 2016, is progressing right on schedule. While the number of people helping has been encouraging, still more are needed.  Tuesday and Thursday evenings and Saturday mornings, you can be a big help by nailing, painting, hauling, cleaning, etc. Brent Collins, H.A. Tuck, Bill Coombes, Paul Cooper, Paul 2.0, or Lyle Thornton (just some of the folks who are pitching in) will be happy to get you started.

Congratulations to all of the HSW members who are working to make this a reality.

The glider will be hung from the roof with care. A dramatic display for patrons upon entering the MAAF Museum.

The C-54 has found a home.

Fortress without a roof display was in good shape for AIRSHO and more improvements are to come.

A mess in progress.

Bill Coombes and Paul Cooper work hard to get everything just right.

Brent Collins takes a much deserved break after working hard on the new museum.

Now, who wouldn’t want to ride in this beauty?

The T-28 struts her stuff in front of record crowds on Sunday.

Now THAT is precision flying!

Preliminary reports indicate that AIRSHO 2015 was a rousing success.  AIRSHO Director Gena Linebarger reported that Saturday attendance was excellent and Sunday was like a typical Saturday, traditionally the busiest day of the weekend.

Congratulations to all who made our first AIRSHO “solo” a successful one!

The US Air Force Thunderbird demonstration team arrived in Midland on Thursday and got to work on Friday with more than an hour of practice.  They also gave media rides to Stephanie Mills of Channel 9 and Lauren Lanmon of Channel 7.
