Warbird collector-restorer/Champlin Fighter Aircraft Museum founder-director~ Doug Champlin passed-away on Monday 5/20/13:
This fine gentleman will long be remembered for saving & preserving so many historic WW1 & WW2 vintage fighter aircraft. The bulk of his collection (many maintained to or near flying condition) went to Seattle's Museum of Flight at Boeing Field (w/the FW-190 Dora going to Paul Allen's Flying Heritage Collection Museum at Paine Field, WA.).
Thank You, Doug! "Blue Skies & Tailwinds Forever!"
