KT Budde-Jones Returns To Florida After Stint In Hawaii
KT Budde-Jones has returned to Kissimmee after four years in
Hawaii, helping to open and establish the new Pacific Aviation
Museum in Pearl Harbor.
KT left the Kissimmee area in 2005 after representing several of
central Florida's aviation attractions for eight years to help
build and develop the newest historic site on Ford Island. KT
was joined by her husband Syd Jones, restoration director and
curator, who was responsible for the restoration and display of the
museum's collection of unique WWII planes in the original hangars
that were in the center of the December 7, 1941 attack.
KT and Syd join the new and recently expanded Kissimmee Air
Museum located at Kissimmee Gateway Airport. The Kissimmee
Air Museum and Warbird Adventures is housed in two new hangars that
encompass almost 30,000 square feet. Their state of the art
Hydroswing doors open up onto the airport giving visitors a front
row seat to all the aviation adventures and activities that
Kissimmee airport has to offer. KT will be planning special
flying events and activities that will encourage aviation
enthusiasts to come back time and again to see what's new and
happening at both the museum and the airport, located in the heart
of Florida.
Syd will be assisting the WWII Fighter Aircraft Foundation with
the restoration of their FW 190 (file photo above) to flight
worthy status. The rare "Weisse Eins" project is located in the
museum and guests will be able to observe the progress of the
German warbird when they visit.
