From Tioga (ND), Ernie and Alma Knutson came to see the new NASM
Annex, along with their son, Gene. Ernie flew C-47’s during
World War II and in Korea, and calls the entire NASM facility at
Dulles International “Fantastic... fabulous... hard to
describe.” He still has the Taylorcraft that his wife and son
learned to fly in.
It would seem hard to believe, but there is no DC-3 or C-47 on
display, yet. As I have mentioned before, the museum is a work in
progress, and there are 80 aircraft where 200 will eventually find
a home. The museum you see today will be different from the one a
year from now, and two years from now.
