The Chanute Air Museum has gone from being in danger of closure because of poor finances just two years ago to having money in the bank.
Nancy Kobel, museum board president, credits the board as well as staff and volunteers for the turnaround.
“We are operating in the black,” Kobel said. “I’m thrilled about that.”
She admitted that the museum still has “a long way to go” financially but added, “I sat here, and when I heard that (the museum was in the black), I said, ‘Wow! In just a little over two years we have really turned a corner here.'”
