The last #musketeerMonday in our first(!) series is for a single #musketeerMadeHere that served in Morocco. Bought the first year @Beechcraft Musketeer was sold, we can't find a picture of it. We do have a picture of a flying club's and a Twin Bonanza purchased the same year.

All the Space News! We've waited to post about #UltimaThule until we could choose our fav pics. Pretty good for @NASA while @NewHorizons2015 was 4bn miles away! https://t.co/sUC0i6XAYG

Plane was as described, although the controls are kind of simple (https://t.co/ZrktluEFRS). It does always remind us to be happy. Would probably buy again. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ #rateASpecies #culver #smile

⭐️ Airplane came without engine, plus the included pilot was super creepy. Would not buy again. #rateASpecies #phoenix #phoenix6c #hangGlider

Thinking of warmer climates...today's #musketeerMonday is for Algeria! Their AF has used both the @Beechcraft Sierra and Sport #musketeersMadeHere as trainers,: we can't find any pictures of them serving. Best our limited French can dig up are pictures after they've been retired!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exactly as described: Tiny. #rateASpecies https://t.co/m937cewXSX #airplanes

[Mid-America Air Museum @MuseumLiberal]

⭐⭐⭐⭐ because it has incredible range but that chair is uncomfortable! #rateASpecies #piper https://t.co/fqti1dJuUe

⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Great airplane: fast, sleek, BIG. Minus one star because the seller didn't pack it very well...the wings came bent. #rateASpecies #f4U #corsair

Big news for @CNSA_en, today! Our sister #beechcraft division in Boulder CO actually made the helium tanks for @NASA's #apollo lunar landers

We love hearing visitors' stories! Here a recent visitor, Ruth, is standing next to our #bentWingBird #Corsair (F4U-5N night fighter version) like the one her father flew. It's actually on loan to us from @MarineMuseum and we couldn't be more thankful!

We're late! On Dec 29, 1939 the prototype of #wwII's #B24 #Liberator flew for the first time. Even if it doesn't look familiar, if you live in #LiberalKS it's affected you: from layout of streets to the Beech factory to the museum, the B-24 is the reason for it! #localHistory

[Mid-America Air Museum @MuseumLiberal]

It's been cold, so @Beechcraft #musketeerMonday is about our neighbors to the north! The @RCAF_ARC used 24 #musketeersMadeHere from 1971, liked them so much they bought another 24 in 1981. Ground crews called them "Muskrats."

Rearwin Aircraft specialized in tandem-seat planes. When they made their first side-by-side, #PanAm asked them to make a tandem version for #pilotTraining. #studentPilot in back had controls and instrument panel of their own (removed here)."Shades" could be installed to test #IFR

Great Grappling Hook, Batman! Mars' newest resident, courtesy of @NASAJPL, has grappled its seismometer (used to measure Earth/Mars quakes) as it gets ready to set it down on the Martian surface. #space #spaaaaaace

Too windy in #liberalKansas to see many banner ads, but the planes are often the same ones we do see dusting crops! #airMuseum

It's #musketeerMonday! Our former @beechcraft factory turned out 2 B19 "Sports" that served w/ the #HongKong #GovernmentFlyingService. #musketeersMadeHere #liberalKansas #airMuseum #history

Look! It's our Rearwin Sportster "sporting" the Townsend ring around its engine!
