VAC Ribbon Cutting Cermony on 16 June
The Valiant Air Command will have a ribbon cutting ceremony on 16 June for the opening of the new Vietnam War hangar. This hangar was started about a year and half ago and will honor the memory of the men and women that fought in the Vietnam War.
Lockheed Constellation at Fantasy of Flight
The Lockheed Constellation located at the Fantasy of Flight Museum has been sold to Kermit Weeks. The Constellation sale is reported here and confirmed on the FAA Database. This aircraft was airworthy for a ferry flight from Sanford to Polk County back in 2001. Having seen this aircraft, I don’t think it will be airworthy in the future.
