The National Park Service’s hostile takeover of the real Pearson Air Museum was a power grab associated with greed.
Now the Park Service has installed a display about the World War I spruce mill, and that made the front page of The Columbian’s May 23 Clark County section.
The Park Service is really digging for displays. Prior to the hostile takeover, the real Pearson Air Museum had videos and many pictures of the spruce mill in operation. The Park Service should be ashamed of the displays they have now: a boat, a cannon, a lawn tractor, a tent and now a display case with a hat. Not much of an air museum any more. We all need to support HR 716 to force the Park Service to get out of a museum that they have no idea how to operate.
