Jay:

talk to your accountant and lawyer. the way your place is growing,
you just may want to turn part of it into a real museum for the
tax break (501(c)3 type of stuff). Or if possible, build something
onto the hotel to serve as the museum.

Thanks for the suggestion. Eventually we may have to do something like
this -- but not yet.

Even though it's riskier, I really like having the aviation memorabilia and
artwork in the suites and hallways. It gives each suite a unique flavor
and an authenticity that you won't get anywhere else.

For example, when you stay in our Memphis Belle Suite, Bob Morgan and his
crew are staring down at you -- and the picture was given to us and signed
by Colonel Bob himself. When you're in the Mustang Suite, Vlado Lenoch's
Mustang parts are hanging right in your face. When you're in the Blackbird
Suite, you've got a real pitot-static probe to ogle, and an authentic
Lockheed-commissioned carved model of the SR-71 to admire.

And there's a lot of other stuff in our lobby and pilot's lounge.

As time goes on, we'll just add more and more stuff. Sooner or later, we'll
run out of room, and THEN we'll look at the museum, methinks...

Hopefully, this is not your honeymoon suite...
