| Ike destroyed several small experimental aircraft and submerged some larger ones, including the museum's World War II Spitfire, in corrosive saltwater, Gregory said. Lost are irreplaceable memorabilia such as a rare document known as a blood chit carried by Flying Tiger ace David Lee "Tex" Hill over China as he battled the Japanese air force. Blood chits ask civilians to assist downed pilots, but Hill's was written with Chinese characters printed on silk, Gregory said. "We did save Tom Landry's football," he said, referring to the legendary former Dallas Cowboys coach. "Luckily it stayed inside the building and it floated around." The cherished Spitfire, which gained fame in the Battle of Britain, was disassembled by a crew that is cleaning and checking every part in a process that will take as long as four years. |

| GALVESTON - Hurricane Ike continues to take a toll in Galveston almost three years after striking the island city. The latest casualty is the Lone Star Flight Museum, a Galveston tourist attraction since 1990. The storm did more than $18 million in damage to the museum, resulting in its relocation to Ellington International Airport. "I can't risk another 8 feet of water being in the facility," said the museum's executive director, Larry Gregory. At the museum's new home, its 13 flying and six display aircraft will join a half-dozen Vietnam War-era aircraft owned by the Collings Foundation-Houston and a growing collection of vintage military aircraft owned by the Texas Flying Legends. The new museum and hangar will be bigger, more modern and add a theater and a restaurant, Gregory said. The Houston City Council approved a 40-year contract with the museum for 14 acres at Ellington. Construction should begin in about 18 months, according to Gregory, who estimated the move could take three years. |

| Bill, did the LSFM ever have a B-36? I don't remember seeing one there when I went, and it would have been hard to miss. Also, are they still planning on moving the museum to Ellington Field? Seeing a picture of a B-36 always makes me want to watch the movie Strategic Air Command (available for streaming on Netflix). Not Jimmy Stewart's best flick, but some great shots of the Peacemaker, and it was mainly a recruiting tool anyway. |

| There's a movie called Tall Man 55 which shows a B-58 making a simulated bombing run and being scored by a Radar Bomb Scoring site on the ground. I'm not in the movie but it will give you a good idea of what I did for four of my twenty years in the Air Force. I think you can find it on youtube. |
