Taelor Kirkebye is a volunteer at the museum.  He recently decided to get their static display C-3 link trainer up and running. It was fully operational in the 1990s when they had it on display. Their C-3’s previous assignment was at the Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory until March 16th, 1965 when it was marked for scrap.  Since then, it has been sitting in a corner of the museum with a small description.
