.... driving across Kansas with SWMBO on a month-long road trip to see a bit of the West, when she spoke up and suggested going through Liberal. She lived there for a while after college, working for Dekalb, and wanted to see the place again. Liberal?! I was a bit, uh, let's say reluctant, so she enticed me by mentioning that there was an air museum there. Well, that's different. Okay, let's go!
What I didn't realize until we got there was that the Mid-America Air Museum is housed in the old Beech factory where the Musketeers were built. Pretty cool to see my plane's birthplace! They have a large collection with some very interesting planes. Of course, the best plane in the collection is the Musketeer Sport, but it was also neat to see their Corsair, their Beech Starship, their Mitchell B25, their Avenger, their Mooney Mite, etc.
If you find yourself in the neighborhood, check it out. (There ain't a lot else to see in Liberal, anyway.....)
