Yep, we have a Caboose. Planes,Trains & Automobiles. (that's a great name for a movie!) Caboose tours this weekend at WAAAM.

What a crew. Volunteers Randy Acree, John Nesbitt, Carl Smiley really pulled off a big one. Getting a caboose moved with no tracks is a BIG job.

The 1931 Stinson W makes WAAAM its new home

Donated by Hillary Peck of Washington. Another rare bird! It was a airliner carrying one pilot and 3 passengers and is a great fit as it brings a missing link to the museum. Volunteer Ben Davidson annualed and flew this craft to the museum.

Model T Driving School 4th class added!

A New Road

One of our Volunteers has passed away this last week.

Our very dear friend,

Rudy Zvarich, fellow volunteer and supporter is gone.

He made a difference here at WAAAM and will be greatly missed.

Rudy has a few vehicles on display and they are honored with a black bow. Among the many projects he was working on, Rudy was helping to get the Veile Automobile running again as well as keeping the Big Red Fuel Truck driving. Rudy was quiet, had a wealth of knowledge about vintage automobiles, and a thirst for information about aeroplanes.

He was a fascinating man. We hope you had the chance to meet him.

We send our thoughts and sympathy to his family and his friends.

Good Travels Dear Rudy.
