Here are a few shots from the War Eagles Air Museum, located in Santa Teresa, NM. If you’re ever in the El Paso area, I highly recommend visiting this hidden gem. Most of the aircraft are in flying condition, and the Santa Teresa airport (where the museum is located) is rather active.

Went there about 2 years ago, turned up about 5 minutes before they closed, I forgot about mountain time, anyway a guy came out to the car park and said that they had just closed, no problem say’s I, I am staying up at Las Cruses in NM so can pop back tomorrow. As I have found with a lot of US private collections once they know your a Brit, the doors open, within a few minutes the lights were back on and the guy had me sitting in the Mustang that was being returned to flight, could not do enough for me, was very reluctant to take a donation as well, can recommend a visit to anyone who is near there, great collection and great people who run it.

Great pictures and quite a collection. I haven’t heard of this museum before.
Good collection of Russian aircraft. The TU-2 looks amazing.
I’m going to have to visit.
Thanks for posting.
