They have over 100 aircraft on display in a former Beech factory building. One of them is a AC 520 in army paint. It is open for visitors to get into unlike most of the aircraft. It is popular with the children since they can get into to it and sit in the pilot seat. The door is off to allow easy access. It is in good condition being stored inside. It looks ready to fly except for some dust. There is a photo on their web site.

The folks at the museum treated us like kings (of course, they were pretty interested in our 1952 M404). We had blown a tire on the way out of Grand Junction, CO (after a single engine approach and landing...that's another story). Took us until 11PM working madly to change the tire and install the spare while a Kansas thunderstorm threatened to blown the Martin off the jack...what an experience. If you all get a chance, stop in Liberal and enjoy their fine museum. Thanks Tyler for sharing your experience.
