They are looking to donate it to the TWA Museum in Kansas City, MO.
But I am thinking that maybe, just maybe we can get it donated to the Cessna 150-152 Foundation and we can fly it! Sell tickets for rides to and from Clinton, etc...
We Have the flight crew already! Mark as Captain, Me as Flight Engineer and another Club member (Jesse Tidd) as the First Officer!
WOW! How exciting!
I also just found out that the people in KCMO are interested in taking custody of the plane for their museum.

Rip out the seats, tie down the 150s, sit in them and pretend to fly them to Clinton!
Greatest PR stunt ever!

With a mile of highway, you can go one mile. With a mile of runway, you can go just about anywhere. | 1 member likes this:

I was thinking about the TWA last paint scheme...
But, Ron, I do think you got something there with the CHIEFS paint scheme ...

Classic TWA scheme, awesome!
But if there is any inkling of the Chiefs anywhere at all, even if it’s in the deepest, darkest recesses of some area that will never see the light of day, deal’s off!
20 will have to be happy with TWA red. He can simply tell himself, silently, that it’s Chiefs colors.
