| Ken Argo , Oregon | I was a crewchief on acft F4C 64-0777 when it was assigned to Luke AFB in 1971 . I joined the Oregon Air National Guard in 1986. I found that the old Phantom and I were again in the same unit . I have always wondered where it ended up. Good job on the F4C it looks great. 06/14/2007 @ 19:55 [ref: 5971] |
| Roger Botting Atlanta, Georgia | Nice museum, little tight to take pictures on some of the hangared aircraft but all are in great condition. Some aircraft are outside which makes for good picture taking. If in the DFW area with a couple of hours to spare then its worth the effort to visit this well run museum 02/27/2007 @ 17:59 [ref: 5661] |
| Rob Putman sheridan, Wyoming |  I had the extreme pleasure of stumbling upon CFM while accompanying my wife on a training seminar. I spent about 4 hours looking over the many wonderfully preserved (and mostly all flying) aircraft. I've been to many air museums and I have to say that CFM falls right into place with my other favorite - the Evergreen museum in McMinville, Oregon. There's just something very special about being able to smell these aircraft, in addition to seeing them up close. Don't forget to look at the wonderful aviation art exhibit! Thanks to all the staff, and Mr. Cavanaugh, for a GREAT experience! 02/24/2007 @ 06:10 [ref: 5650] |
| Tim V. , Texas |  This museum has a decent collection... unfortunately I have to give it low marks as it takes an extremely hands-off philosophy to its exhibits. Numerous spit & polished WWII-era planes are tucked away behind chains. It was disappointing to me to not be able to peek in an aircraft window and try to imagine a WWII air battle or get a close look at construction methods and smell the faint whiff of grease. My youngster kept wanting to sit in a plane and there was nothing to appease him. Most museums put a few touch & feel exhibits out; this is not one of them. 12/01/2006 @ 11:59 [ref: 5457] |

| Forrest Brewster , Texas | I am an avionics tech, that has the priviage to work on these aircraft. Here it is 2005, and the Cavanaugh Flight Museum has changed a great deal! The pictures featured above, are somewhat current. They have added many more flyable aircraft, including their pride flying Douglas DC-3/C-47, "Mr, C". Also, as of 3/2005, they are putting the finishing touches on their Goodyear built Corsair. This plane is expected to take flight, and make it's first airshow debut since the unfortunate forced landing in N. Texas two years ago. They are trying to have it completed for the 2005 Sun-N-Fun airshow, in Florida. I've been to many air museums, and found an extra bonus here, "ALMOST ALL OF THE PLANES CAN AND STILL FLY!!". I can write for an hour about this museum, but I feel the best way to know what I'm talking about, is to experance it for yourself. If you are in north Texas, or in Texas at all, you owe it to yourself to visit this museum! The aircraft that are featured here are rare, and what makes them even more unique, is the fact that on any given day, you may see a P-51 Mustang take to the air, or a T-6 Texan do a low level flyby over Addison airport. These are sights that are fadeing with time. Take the walk into aviation history, and maybe get to feel the prop blast of their mighty DC-3/C-47, as is leaves for an airshow. 03/26/2005 @ 21:37 [ref: 3940] |

| Harold Dixon Aubrey, Texas | I am a mechanic at the museum and I would like to thank all of you for your nice comments. We are a flying museum and out of the 38 aircraft that we have. only 6 are not airworthy. It's a privliage to work on these aircraft that brave men and weomen have flown to victory. I would also like to thank our volenteer staff, without thier time and efforts we mechanics would not have the time to keep them flying. If you get to the museum, stop by hanger 3 and say hi. Steve, Dan, and myself would love to answer any question's you might have. We all need to thank Jim Cavanaugh and his family for providing a place were people can come to remember the old day's and children can come to learn and have fun. Thank you for your time and Patronage. Harold 08/14/2004 @ 10:18 [ref: 3343] |
