Lone Star Flight Museum Construction Delayed

No Connection To Loss Of P-51D Mustang, Director Says

The Lone Star Flight Museum still plans to move from Galveston to Houston in Texas, but construction of the museum's new home has been delayed by about a year, according to museum officials.

Executive Director Larry Gregory would say only that construction of the new facility, which had originally been scheduled to begin this year, has been pushed back to until fall of 2014. He did not give a specific reason for the delay, according to a report from the Houston Chronicle relayed by the Associated Press.

What he would say is that the delay is in no way related to an accident involving the museum's P-51D Mustang 'Galveston Gal', which went down in the Gulf of Mexico in October. The airplane went down with two people on board during a fundraising flight experience, and resulted in the fatal injury of both of those on board.

The move was planned after the museum sustained about $18 million in damage from Hurricane Ike in 2008. The new facility is expected to cost about $7.5 million.
