CWAM Adds a Flogger
The Cold War Air Museum, Inc. recently performed an afterburner test on its MiG-23UB (two seater). When this aircraft was disassembled for shipping, it was in top flying condition and CWAM intends to reassemble the aircraft for flight. It is anticipated that this airplane and the Museum's MiG-21 is in final flight make-ready and testing by spring 2012.
New Facility Now Open
The Cold War Air Museum, Inc. is happy to announce that it is now occupying its new 45,000 square foot hangar and museum facility. The complex is located on the south west side of Lancaster (KLNC) Airport, just 20 minutes south of Dallas. This facility is just what the Museum needed to continue its aggressive plans to aquire new aircraft.
Hind Helos at CWAM
The Cold War Air Museum, Inc. has assembled two Mi-24 Soviet Era Hind helicopters, both of which are now certified and flying regularly on the weekends. Both aircraft will be traveling during the 2011 airshow season.
CWAM Takes Delivery of the Legendary MiG-21
The Cold War Air Museum, Inc. has taken delivery of a MiG-21UM (two seater) to add to its rapidly expanding force of aircraft. The museum hopes to have the MiG-21 reassembled and progressing toward its airworthiness certification sometime in 2011. CWAM Board Member and Safety Officer Jon Boede commented that, "we will take our time and make sure all details are addressed with this aircraft and the training of the pilots before flights begin in this aircraft. Respect is demanded when 42 of the aircraft's emergency procedures end with the same phrase -- eject!" Lancaster Airport's runway will need to be lengthened before CWAM's MiG-21 will be able to begin regular operations.
CWAM is a Non-Profit
The Cold War Air Museum, Inc. has been certified by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. This codifies the museum as a public treasure.
