On Friday, May 18th, Bill Coombes, Paul Cooper and I, visited the Hangar 25 Museum in Big Spring to do some archival research about “our” AT-11. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to find any documentation relevant to her, but we did get some information about items and suppliers for our up-and-coming PX.

The museum was fortunate to have 108 second graders, teachers and parents visit today during their spring field trip. After an introduction to the museum, the students were broken down into six groups and escorted by docents around the museum. The tour pattern, devised by H.A. Tuck for previous group tours, was once again the key to an enjoyable visit. The kids were bright, well-behaved and inquisitive, and we would welcome them back anytime.
After the tour they enjoyed a picnic lunch in the outdoor chapel and then back on the bus for their next stop.
Many thanks to the HSW members who helped out today: Steve Bolin, Tresa Bolin, Ralph Gillette, Donnie Haeffner, Lyle Thornton, H.A. Tuck, and Randy Wilson. It doesn’t get done without you!
