"Mark Hurwitz, president of operations for the Wings of Freedom Aviation Museum, proudly explained on a recent day the history of a F-4A Phantom bomber used during the Vietnam War, one of 22 planes and helicopters on exhibit.

He stopped and gestured with an arm toward the back of the property.

The museum has a grand vision, he said: a new, much larger, wing-shaped building with large windows set on 13 acres, more than double the current grounds. Most aircraft, a mix of civilian and military, would be moved inside, some hanging from the ceiling. Plans include a veterans memorial. The cost could be in the tens of millions of dollars, but eager donors are lined up to support the expansion."
