Fire flattens Willow Run.

Very sad to record here that an intense fire demolished the museum at Willow Run yesterday,thankfully nobody was hurt but the complete hangar and museum were demolished together with thousands of exhibits including beautiful scale models.
Willow Run was the biggest aircraft production facility in America during World War 2 producing thousands of aircraft for the war effort,the Yankee air museum have established the museum with loving care and now they intend to start all over again.
The picture below was taken from the air this morning.
