John Hacker writes again...

My reader of long-standing will remember John Hacker of the Joplin Daily, which ceased a while back. They covered the anniversary story back in August 2006.

Well, John's now working for The Carthage Press and he happened to write an article, which caught my eye and confirmed something one of our friends mentioned on Sunday.

Flying Museum to visit Joplin Regional Airport

"Sentimental Journey" came to Joplin today (and may stay for a couple of days, depending on the state of Hurricane Gustav's remnants) to publicize the opening of the new terminal at Joplin Airport.

Looking through some of the other press reports and remembering what Chris Wiseman from the Museum Complex said to me, it looks as if at least one picture of "Joplin Jalopy" will be displayed in the airport. I look forward to seeing this.
