Kissimmee Museum - Many Questions

Posted by Mike Henniger on Tue Feb 24, 2004 09:02:59 AM

My dad will be in the Kissimmee area in the next week or two. Before he leaves I plan to give him some film and point him towards to the Reilly museum, the Flying Tigers Warbird Restoration Museum. Of course when he returns and I get my hands on the film I will be posting pictures for all here to see. Right now I am looking for help from WIX to answer a few questions so that I can send him there prepared.

Does anyone know what is currently going on in the restoration shop? I now the "new spar" Corsair is no longer there, but is the P-40 there?

What other aircraft are being worked on?

What is the latest status of the B-17?

I know there is an A-26 airframe on the ramp, along with a few hulks. Any new arrivals in the last few years?

Should I be asking him to look over any fences? I.e. is there anything that isn't on the ramp which might be interesting? Do they have a storage yard?

How far away is Stallion 51? I was there in 1998, but didn't know I should be looking for Stallion 51? Do they keep their Mustang(s) parked outside?

What other interesting stuff is close-by (walking distance)?

TIA for any info the WIX can provide.

Regards,

Mike
