I can not begin to describe how sad I am about the recent news/developments in regards to the Military Aviation Museum (MAM) in Pungo (Virginia Beach), VA.  My mom and I were just there a little over a month ago, at the "Warbirds Over the Beach" show.  I introduced my mom to the owner Jerry Yagan, super nice guy - who was born near where my mom lives in Germany. Even though flight operations were limited on Saturday due to the rain soaked & saturated grass runway, we much enjoyed seeing the planes, especially the only remaining AND airworthy De Havilland Mosquito! We spent many hours walking around the re-enactment camps and chatted with Veterans and re-enactors alike.

Then just a few days ago, I got wind of the collection going up for sale and that MAM most likely will be closing.  Several airplanes have already been sold, heading to the west coast.

I always loved visiting this place, even managed to capture some rare images such as this one (only the plane received damaged - pilot thankfully unscathed):
