Win a Cub, support a museum

By General Aviation News Staff · May 5, 2020 ·

The Western Antique Aeroplane & Automobile Museum (WAAAM) in Hood River, Oregon, is raffling a 1946 Piper J3C-65 Cub to raise funds for expanding the museum’s display building and maintaining the museum’s collection.

The airplane was donated to WAAAM to raffle off, which means 100% of the proceeds from the raffle go directly to the museum’s building fund, according to WAAAM officials.

WAAAM officials are planning to add wings off the front entryway to expand the museum’s existing areas for educational opportunities and conference room space.

Raffle tickets are $100. Only 2,500 tickets will be sold. Ticket sales will stop when the 2,500 tickets are sold or July 4, 2020, whichever comes first, museum officials add.

Open 9 am-5 pm daily during normal times, the Western Antique Aeroplane and Automobile Museum collects, restores, preserves, and exhibits airplanes from the Dawn of Flight through the Golden Age of Flight and historically significant cars and trucks emphasizing the first half of the 20th century. It is located on the Hood River Airport.

    YES, I BUY CHANCES ON AIRPLANES AND OTHER THINGS TO SUPPORT MUSEUMS, PILOT ORGANIZATIONS, AND OTHER AERONAUTICAL ENDEAVORS
    AND GROUPS DURING THESE DAYS OF VENUES CANCELLED DUE TO THE DCV

    NOT THEIR FAULT!!!!

    THE ONE CHANCE ON AN AIRPLANE GIVES ME HOPE AND WONDERFUL MINUTES OF CONTEMPLATION WHEN THINKING “WHAT IF…..”

    PLUS THE MONEY GENERATED WILL GO TOWARD GOOD CAUSES
