"Cavalcade of Wings" Display at the

Albuquerque Sunport International Airport

The "Cavalcade of Wings" display at the Albuquerque Sunport features aircraft of every type that have either been based at Albuquerque, or historical aircraft that have transited through Albuquerque. The very large display (17 cases) is in a prominent area of the airport, and residents and visitors alike are exposed to the scale modeling hobby.  There are currently 698 models on display, with a total of 1200 aircraft cataloged.  Pictures, patches and military badges associated with the models are also on display. 

ASM members support the  "Cavalcade of Wings" by building models for display, repairing models, and participating in periodic cleaning of the display.  The curator of the collection, Mr. Harry Davidson, is a member of ASM.

ASM Assists Cavalcade of Wings Display

by Mike Blohm

   Members of the Albuquerque Scale Modelers club assisted the Cavalcade of Wings (CoW) on Saturday, 26 September 2009 in the pack up of approximately 175 models at the Albuquerque Sunport international airport.  The airport is going to do some expansion construction in an area that will demolish a wall that currently contains five CoW display cases.  The airport plans to build another free-standing “triangle” of cases - like the one there now – in the next few months.  The group worked from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM to empty the cases.  The models were all packed in separate zip-lock bags and packed into boxes marked for each originating case and shelf.  See pictures below.  The boxes were stored at the airport.  Thanks to Fred Franceschi for organizing and leading the effort, and to the following individuals that came out to help.  ASM: Glenn Bingham, Mike Blohm, Fred Franceschi, Josh Pals, and John Tribou.  Albuquerque Rocket Model Society: Jerry Cross.  Sante Fe Scale Modelers: Frank Hopack.  Lots of people transiting the airport stopped by to inquire what we were doing, and they all mentioned how much they enjoyed viewing the model displays.  Additional pictures of the display are available on the Cavalcade of Wings page.
