War Eagles Air Museum

In this edition of El Paso Prime Time, Richard Dayoub from Thunderbird Management is joined by Vanessa Martinez, the Executive Director of the War Eagles Air Museum, to talk about the museum, the programs they have, and what they are doing to raise awareness about the things they offer. They will also discuss aviation history and the importance of its preservation.

War Eagles Air Museum was founded by John and Betty MacGuire in 1989 as a way to share their love of aviation and history with the community. More than 30 years later, the museum features one of the Southwest’s largest collection of restored historic aircraft from the World War II to Vietnam Conflict eras, along with a large collection of vintage and historic automobiles, motorcycles, and various military and transportation artifacts through the decades. The War Eagles Air Museum is located at the Santa Teresa Airport, and it is open Wednesday - Sunday from 10 AM to 4 PM.
