| Nissen Davis Rancho Palos Verdes, California |  The Museum of Flying's website http://www.museumofflying.com/ has the following release: "The Board of Directors of the Museum of Flying is pleased to announce the new location of the Museum of Flying. The new Museum is slated to open near the end of 2006 or in early 2007 in a large hangar on the North side of the Santa Monica Airport. The Museum will place heavy emphasis on the history of the airport and the prominent role that the Douglas Aircraft Company played in the early development of commercial and military aviation. Many artifacts and displays will focus on Douglas Aircraft and include some of the personal effects of founder Donald W. Douglas. In addition, the Museum will feature displays on other aviation and aerospace companies from Southern California. A limited collection of vintage aircraft will be on display along with a handful of static display aircraft. Visitors will have access to a viewing area on the active runway of the airport and will also have the opportunity to view a rotating display of aircraft from other Museums. 09/13/2006 @ 14:37 [ref: 5255] |
| Maxwell D Cooper Northr9dge, California | I have a envelope from the flight of the B19 from Clover Field to March Airforce base dated June 27, 1941.In addition I have accumulated photos of the air craft sold to the military, these photographs were from different books. I wonder if you would be interested in these plus the books. 04/26/2005 @ 19:59 [ref: 4017] |
| kenneth l. aubel westminster, California | Sadly, on July 28, 2002 the Museum of Flying closed due to inability to insure the warbirds flying from this small airfield surrounded by the city of Santa Monica (as I understand it). I was told that alternate sites were being explored and Camarillo Airport was a possible new location. 08/07/2002 @ 20:20 [ref: 2342] |
| Kevin Barry Burbank, California |  I am producing a one hour documentary for the Discovery Network on the Bermuda Triangle and Flight 19, in which 5 Avenger\'s disappeared over the Bermuda Triangle on Dec 5, 1945. Does anyone know what museum (preferably in California or Florida) has an Avenger aircraft, or a Martin Mariner which also disappeared during a rescue effort the next day. I want to film these for the documentary. Finally, do you know anyone that might have some information about Flight 19, or was involved in the event. Thank you!

| Stefan Würgler Zug, | Nice museum. You can watch real airtraffic, because it's in a airport! 11/11/2000 @ 03:22 [ref: 583] |
| Scott Tibbitts Los Angeles, California | The previous comments are all appropriate. This museum is special for a number of reasons. It has a special place for Donald Douglas and Douglas aircraft (including the board room table from Douglas aircraft). The museum is built on the grounds of the original Douglas facility,at Santa Monica Airport, which was torn down in the late 70's. Further it houses one the original Douglas World Fliers, which completed the first circumnavigation of the world by air. That flight was started at Clover Field (now Santa Monica Airport). Many historically important individuals in aeronautics worked at this plant including Jack Northrop. Appropriately, most of the planes here are from World War II and most are operational. Founder David Price, has assembled an outstanding and varied collection of aircraft and memorabilia. Despite its quirky hours it is well worth the trip. 10/18/2000 @ 01:16 [ref: 522] |
