I have never been to one, physically, but when I was a “practicing A&P mechanic”, I unfortunately worked for "Kalitta’s Flying Circus”…..(for 3 or 4 weeks )
They regularly got parts from places like that……hence my desire to “move along” soon after my arrival.
I think there is a big one in AZ somewhere for old military planes too….

That is for sure! All those planes in a row are going North and South. Just to the West of those planes is a black top road that goes into town. To the West of that road is a hay field with several older big planes. The guy who owns that started redoing WW2 planes years ago to make the fire fighting tankers. Don't know if they still do that, but he also ha a crop duster that looks like a bumble bee!
Then on the other side of town (this is a town of 175) is a shop that salvaged big busses. He had a business for years of refurbishing them for various country and western singers.
Quite the village. Check it out on google earth.
