Is that the museum across the a college? Rte 63? Off the road a ways.

I've passed that place for the last 30 years on the way to and from Buffalo and always been curious what was in there. The one time I drove down, it was closed. Another time, a B-25 buzzed my car.

What's in there?

I was at the Elmira, NY, air museum at the airport, that was pretty cool. There's a small aviation museum in East Amherst, NY, as part of a historic house 'park.' OK for a small municipal museum.

There is supposed to be another aviation museum around Dansville, NY, but couldn't find it (the signs off the highway just ended). maybe it's there, maybe not.

Any others in that neck of the woods?

That is the museum.
The main exhibit is the Memphis Belle, although there is a functional C-47 and a variety of static displays

Maybe the Glenn H. Curtiss museum in Hammondsport?
