Flying Heritage Collection Preserves and Flies WWII AircraftGerald D. Swick November 25, 2008 | 2 comments | Print | E-mail Not all the planes fly. For instance, we have an Me163 rocket plane that always attracts attention. It was very fast, very dangerous to fly. It was the cutting edge of German technology. ACG: How is the collection made available to the public, apart from the flying days? AH: We’re open 7 days a week in summer. In winter, we’re closed on Mondays. Other than that, we’re open all but Thanksgiving and Christmas days. ACG: Are there possibilities for the collection to expand, or it is unlikely additional aircraft will be found that collectors or others are willing to part with? AH: Oh, no. We’re always looking. We have some aircraft now that are being restored to their original condition. The collection will grow as we add more planes.

I noted that AH identified a P-40 Thunderbolt. Probably a typo as I’m sure he knows the Thunderbolt is a P-47. I Think the P40
of Flying Tigers fame was designated Warhawk or something similar. It was manufactured by Curtiss whereas the Thunderbolt was a Republic production , a real ground support strafing machine, a huge fighter plane.
