Some Of Its Aircraft Are On Loan From Company Reorganizing Under Bankruptcy Laws

The Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum in McMinnville, OR says that it is doing just fine, thank you, even though some of the airplanes it has on display belong to Evergreen Vintage Aircraft LLC, which recently filed for reorganization under Chapter 11.

The museum issued the following statement:

"We are aware that Evergreen Vintage Aircraft, LLC has filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the bankruptcy law. That company is a separate for-profit company.

"The Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum is an independent non-profit organization. Most of our Museum’s collection of over 180 aircraft and artifacts are owned by the Museum or are on loan from federal government agencies.

"Our Museum does have 25 aircraft and vehicles on loan from Evergreen Vintage Aircraft, LLC. These remain on loan. We are continuing to lease the Theater building, which is owned by Evergreen Vintage Aircraft LLC. Our Museum continues to operate as before.

"We have no other comment to make at this time."
