Museum Aircraft

 

 

The PTAM has one of the best collections of rare antique and classic aircraft in the western United States.  The museum owns and/or has on loan over 26 airplanes including but not limited to: a 1922 Irwin “Meteor” Plane, two 1930 Stinson SM-8A Detroiters, a 1935 DeHavilland Queen Bee, a 1931 Curtiss-Wright Junior replica, a 1936 Aeronca C-3 Master, a 1940 Akron-Funk, a 1943 Aeronca L-3, a 1928 Travel Air 4000, a 1927 Travel Air 4000,  two 1946 Aeronca 7AC’s, a 1946 Piper J3 Cub, a Benny Howard Mike pylon racer replica, a Corben Baby Ace,  a 1941 Ryan PT-22, a 1941 Piper J5 Super Cruiser, a 1965 Schleicher KA 6E, a 1946 Aeronca 11CC, a 1938 Cessna Airmaster, a 1937 Bowlus Baby Albatross, a 1942 Laister-Kauffman LK-10A, and yes even a 1973 Cessna A150L Aerobat.  More than 60% of the museum’s aircraft are operational and are flown on a regular basis.    The museum property is currently scattered among nine privately owned hangars at the Jefferson County International Airport.  For a few more months  the  display of our aircraft and their restoration will continue to occur in these same facilities.  As of mid summer 2007 our new museum building is nearing completion after six years of planning and two and a half years of constructing.  The new building should be ready to accept our collection of aircraft for a proper public display by the new year.
