Fundraising is our least favorite part of what we do…but the truth is, these things just don’t fix and fly themselves.
Cash donations are great, but we can use just about anything that has value to further our cause to restore and keep these old airplanes in the air. Of course, we prefer pre-1950ish aircraft like Cubs, Taylorcrafts or Aeroncas, but we also love tools, and pieces and parts from old aircraft.
We know most people don’t have airplane stuff laying around, so we will take just about anything we can sell—cars, real estate, whatever. To make a donation, please get in touch.
Volunteer
IT’S NOT JUST ABOUT MONEY! If you can sweep, mow, polish, fly, teach, or anything else to lend a hand, we’d love to hear from you.
The Texas Barnstorming Museum is a Registered 501(c)3 non-profit charitable organization. For tax purposes, donors will get a receipt for the full value of the donation.
Win this 100 HP 1946 Piper J-3 Cub
Well, after giving away an RV-12 in 2021, and a classic 1965 Convertible Mustang in 2022, and a beautifully restored 1941 Piper J-3 in 2023, I'm certain this 100 HP J3 Cub is going to make someone very, very happy.
All the pertinent aircraft details are on the raffle site and can be accessed by just clicking the button below. The short version is it has everything you'd want in a Cub, plus the 100 HP O-200 for unbelievable performance. It has sealed struts, modern wheels and brakes, 24 gallons of fuel in the wings and no fuselage tank. The airplane was restored in 1992, with new fabric on the fuselage and tail at that time. It's just stunning and will be awarded with a fresh annual.
There is more information on the raffle entry site. Please feel free to contact us with any other questions.
