The Aero Experience Visits the AeroKnow Museum in Springfield, IL

During a recent trip to Springfield's Abraham Lincoln Capital Airport, The Aero Experience visited the AeroKnow Museum.  We were met by Director Job Conger, author of Springfield Aviation, who graciously gave a tour of the extensive model and archive collections available for in-house research.  For a detailed description of the resources available, and how to become a member of the AeroKnow Museum, please visit  http://www.aeroknow.com/.  Here are some scenes from our visit:
