3 Flying Mustangs roam the skies of Rexburg when only 150 still exist in the world. The Legacy Flight Museum houses these and many more rare planes right in the midst of unaware students.
Rexburg is filled with history, but has anybody taken the time to notice? For those who have come across the Legacy Flight Museum they know that Rexburg houses some of the rarest planes in the world. Supervisor's know the history of every plane and would be more than glad to fill you in on this surprising collection. Brad DeBow, a Volunteer Supervisor and lover of aircrafts, had this to say about the Museum.
"Well the legacy flight museum is a war bird museum. We have a lot of American history here. We have three flying mustangs out of 150 in the world that still fly today there's three of them right here in little town of Rexburg, and we take them up regularly. This is one right here the Mormon Mustang. We had four of them up three weeks ago. We had general Wright here who was flew the Mormon Mustang during world war II and you can look him up on the web and get some interesting history about Rolland Wright. We had three mustangs and a P-63 King Cobra up last three weeks ago had a blast flying them around. We did some high-speed passes on the runway here and we did some formation flights and had the general in the backseat of the Mormon Mustang. So it was a lot of fun and flying these war birds and like I said it's a piece of American history so come out and see it and we can tell you a lot about the early days of American history, especially World War II."
The Legacy Flight museum is an operational hanger; all of their planes get to experience frequent flight. So the next time you hear the hum of an airplane, look to the sky and wave to the veteran aircrafts that refuse to retire from the Rexburg skies.
