I believe the Champlin Museum is outside of Phoenix, Az. San Diego has the
San Diego Aerospace Museum at Balboa Park. Highly recommended! Check out the
SDAM Web page at http://www.globalinfo.com/noncomm/aerospace/Aerospace.HTML

Yes Champli has a SPAD XIII. I have photos that I will send to Allan. I also
have photos of the Old Rhinebeck (Lt. Stricklands) SPAD XIII. I hope to send
to Allan a series of photos from Rhinebeck, Champlain and Cavanaugh. The
Cavanaugh shots are of a D-VII (Udet's with cowel covers removed and a very
nice Camel.
