The new La Junta Army Airfield display has been completed at Wings Over the Rockies Air & Space Museum. Created to honor the over 6000 Army Air Corps personnel who were trained at the base and the nearly 1000 civilian workers who kept the installation going, this exhibit features the story of the airbase and includes artifacts from CAHS laureate Leo Scheberle who was stationed there as a B-25 instructor.
