Grumman Hu-16A Albatross Arrives at the Tri-State Warbird Museum 3/8/2025


This is a warbird museum you don't hear much about, but definitely worth a stop.  It's at I69, Clermont County Airport, just east of Cincinnati, directly across the runway from Sporty's.  They have 14 aircraft on display, all but a couple of which fly regularly, plus a lot of other stuff.

Absolutely cool that they restore and maintain these old aircraft! It ain't cheap, either!

Many years ago my dad asked an airshow attendee "How do you support owning and showing this TBF Avenger?" The answer: "I own a chain of dental offices."
"The Creator may be seen in all the works of his hands, but none so clearly in the wise economy of the honey bee."

87% of the time, any question starting with "Why..." is answered with "Money."

I love  old Sea Planes My wife's grandfather was on a Martin Mariner as a radar operator - I understand one is being restored in Florida.  Huge Seaplanes are not easy to find flying

When I finished talking to the owner of a TBM Avenger at Oshkosh, I thanked him for having the dedication and money to keep it flying.
He smiled and said: "Everybody's got to have a hobby!".

The Stearman I had restored to my specification N224DF is now at the Tri-States Museum. They still sell rides on it on a regular basis.
They are a great group.
