| Bill Carpentier , California | Several years ago I was lucky enough to see the Champlin Museum not only for the great a/c displayed but for the fantastic gun collection ther. What a double thrill that was! By - wow - one day they ran out a FW-190 for a runup! As a member of an air museum myself I was Ok'd to go out on the ramp and watch - and listen and see that great blue smoke and hear that fantastic radial fire up (I think it was made by BMW no less)--I think I can still hear it..... 09/17/2008 @ 15:43 [ref: 8422] |

| Justin Dalley Ft. Worth, Texas | Hello to everyone, I am also a huge aviation war buff especially during WW2 aviation. I have come across this web sight that do to the fact we are studying in Bus class which is a legal bussiness class the mishaps of the TBD. It greatly saddens me that red tape and military unwillingness to work with historical and m salavage companies to save a piece of history that is bigger than any of us. My heart goes out to Mr D. Champlin, the project TBD salvage team, and B. Mester. I wish I could belong to such a wonderful effort such as you have to save a piece of history not just for one singlke agency but for the world to enjoy. 04/21/2008 @ 10:17 [ref: 7396] |
| Zach Amarillo, Texas | Personally, I'm angry about it. I understand there are a lot of considerations but when I was in school in Mesa, that was my favorite place in the world, and now somebody sold out and it's too far away to reach. It may have been necessary, but so many museums are closing and consolidating that we're losing significant access to history around the country. I miss it. 03/06/2008 @ 19:37 [ref: 6873] |
| John J. Panoski SCOTIA, New York | in response to John Mottley: your aircraft is a US Navy Grumman F-9F Cougar and is listed on the NMNA @ Pensacola FL. you can determine the former unit that flew it and the color scheme by contacting them. JJP 11/23/2007 @ 17:36 [ref: 6524] |
| Thomas Lemme Mesa, Arizona | I grew up in Mesa going to see this awesome collection of aircraft. I even took my avionics class from Hi-tech institute to go see the museum. I was in shock when I found it was gone. 08/30/2007 @ 10:12 [ref: 6267] |
| tom , Michigan | I had the pleasure of seeing this museum about 10 years ago and it was great. It was the best assortment of old and newer fighters I had ever seen. I wished I could have made it back before it was closed. I was wondering if the Japanese plan I saw sitting outside in crates was ever reassembled. If somone has info on this plane please let me know,thanks. 07/09/2007 @ 17:45 [ref: 6054] |
| John J. Panoski SCOTIA, New York | I was deeply saddened by the closing of the Champlin Fighter Museum, undoutedly the best private collection of fighters in the world, (save maybe the Pima Air Museum, but look whose across the street? Hopefully this collection will do justice to the purchasers in Seattle. 07/07/2007 @ 12:44 [ref: 6048] |
