Greetings,
I was up in the Ft. Worth area this weekend and stopped by the museum.
Apparently they are closing down. The aircraft are gone except for the Grumman
amphibian and the C-119. The minesweeper is there and smaller items are around.
The building is closed up. I went by twice
on Saturday and it was closed and gated both times.
I do recommend calling
NAS JRB before going as well. They were locked down on Saturday as well.
I did find an advanced trainer at the Stephenville municipal airport though.
Hope this helps, Trey 1-5-2009

Sir, this letter may be of no interest to you, but just in case I thought
I would give it a try. The picture, I have attached, was made around
1937. The boy was 17 years old at that time, and the model was a winner
at some contest held in Dallas, TX. The young man was my brother
who died in WW 2 after landing his
B-25 on water near the
Celebes Islands
(Pacific).
With this plane, he won a trophy, a model airplane motor, and a trip to
Chicago. His life was airplanes. We were raised in
Arkansas (Arkadelphia)
where he was the first to complete the civil aeronautical training
program offered there. Growing up, I remember the tiny pieces of balsa
wood and glue he used to hold the parts together, first held with
very tiny pins until the glue was dry. I ran across your site, because
I often go back in my mind to Arkansas and the sites I can find about
"home". Yours made me think of L.B. and his love for models. If you should
care to answer this letter, I would be delighted, and if not I understand
that you are very busy person and don't worry about it. My name is Ann
Walker and I live in Conroe, TX. I am 73 years old. My brother's
name was L.B. Bardwell, Jr. Had he lived, he would now be 82. Thanks, in
any case, for reading this and letting me bend your ear for a little
while.
