The Hoosier Air Museum was an aviation museum located at the DeKalb County Airport in Auburn, Indiana.

History

Background

The Hoosier Warbirds were founded by a group of aviation enthusiasts who met in October 1991 following the publication of a classified advertisement in a local newspaper.[1]

Establishment

The group raised money to build a hangar, which opened in October 2000.[2] It acquired a Cadillac Fleetwood and an AH-1 in 2002.[3]

The museum acquired two airplanes, four engines and an exhibit about the 434th Fighter Squadron from the Wings of Freedom Museum in Huntington, Indiana in 2006.[4]Шаблон:Efn

Closure

Due to a lack of volunteers and difficulty accessing the site, the museum closed on 3 December 2019. Most of its exhibits were donated to Kruse Plaza, which opened the Hoosier Air Experience. However, the museum's WR-3 was donated to the National Air and Space Museum in 2020.[5][6][7]
