Title
A Resolution to Authorize the Mayor to Sign a Loan Agreement and Letter of Assurance for a T-34B Aircraft from the National Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola, Florida.
Summary
The city would like to showcase a T-34B Aircraft in a future museum to honor Foley's WWII Heritage City status and commemorate the training done at Barin Field for WWII. As these historic planes are difficult to find, one has been located in Pensacola at the National Naval Aviation Museum and they are willing to loan it to Foley. The plane is currently partially dissembled. The disassembled aircraft would be transported to Foley by the city Public Works department and stored in the Barnes building until such a time that it can be displayed.
