Museum Will Hold September 29 Auction
Aero-News has learned the city of Amarillo, TX has granted the
Texas Aviation Historical Society a four month extension on its
lease, to give it time to allow for removal of items from the
former English Field Air & Space Museum facility to be
transferred to other museums.
As ANN reported earlier this
week, TAHS was unable to reach a satisfactory
long-term lease agreement to continue operations at the facility,
named after Aviation Pioneer Harold English, who opened the airport
in 1929.
All furnishings, tools, equipment and memorabilia will be sold
to the highest bidder Saturday, September 29 at the current
location on Highway 60 in Amarillo.
"This will not affect the auction scheduled for September 29,"
said the auctioneer, Col. Glenn Larson. "The City's extension of
the lease agreement doesn't have anything to do with the auction.
We will still have the sale as planned. This agreement simply
allows the TAHS extra time to store and transfer some items that
are going to other museums."
TAHS Board member Cole Camp added the City of Amarillo had been
very co-operative in allowing the TAHS extra time in their lease to
hold the auction, and to transfer the property assigned to other
Museums.
As of September 20, aircraft still available for transfer to
accredited museums include an OV-1 Mohawk, an A7C Caribou, and a
"G"-model Cobra helicopter.
