I recently stopped by their to see what was going on. It was during the opening stages of the SAA Fly-IN. I was inspired by some of the collection their. However, the rude nature of the curator of the museum was quite poor. I have always enjoyed aviation and have never found anyone involved with aviation, let alone a curator, that was unwilling to share a moment of time to discuss their collection. I was very dis-appointed. I would hope that this is not normal treatment of visitors. The SAA last an opportunity for a membership as well.

I am looking for any information on the : Aero Thrust Engine company of Chicago Illinois. The engine I own is a 2 cylinder, 2 stroke, horizontally opposed and is air cooled. Using the spark plugs and magneto system as a gauge, the vintage would be 1920's. My hope is to obtain specifications, parts source, operating manuals and the like. Any information would be great! Thank you

Quite possibly one of the country's best kept secrets. There was a great assortment of aircraft on display and being restored. On September 18th 2000, a friend and I set out to fly a Piper Arrow (81529) from Connecticut to California and back, puddle jumping across the country. Landing at Frasca at 8:00 PM, we had no idea what was waiting behind the hangar door. The next morning we were surprised at the quality of the display. My only concern is that we might have missed it. Please do everything that you can to get the word out about this museum. It was one of the crowning jewels of our magnificent journey. Keep up the great work. Sincerely, David Hite
