History

Scott Glover, the founder of Mid America Pet Food, began collecting airplanes in 1996. After 17 years, he established the museum in 2013.[1] [2] [3]

The museum worked with Dynamic Aviation to restore the Lockheed Constellation Columbine II to flight in 2015.[4]

The museum purchased the B-17 Thunderbird from the Lone Star Flight Museum in 2020.[5] It was ferried to the Erickson Aircraft Collection in Madras, Oregon for an inspection shortly thereafter.[6]

Facilities

The museum has two locations: Mid America South, the main museum, at the Mount Pleasant Regional Airport in Mount Pleasant, Texas and Mid America North, a restoration shop, at Grimes Field in Urbana, Ohio.[7] [8]
