Hello Kansas

We said good by to our friends in Oklahoma and made our way to Liberal Kansas. This is our first stop on our way back to Idaho. We always look for fun Harvest Hosts when planning our route, and this one was the Mid-American Air Museum. I like to go to these museums that are preserving history. There was a great big level parking lot for a good nights sleep. Here is a link to my album. 

The Mid-America Air Museum is the premier aviation museum in Kansas and one of the largest in the Untied States.  It is home to over 100 aircraft.

Liberal was once home to a B-24 Liberator pilot training base during World War II.  Liberal Army Airfield was active for three years, and then it became the Liberal Airfield and eventually the Mid-America Regional Airport.  In the 1970’s, Beechcraft operated a single-engine factory, where they manufactured general aviation aircraft.  After Beechcraft closed their Liberal facility, the Mid-America Air Museum was established to preserve local and national aviation heritage.  

The museum has over 100 aircraft and 80,000 square feet of exhibits.  Our collection spans over 90 years of aircraft design and development.
