Legacy Flight
Sherman Smoot, past president, devoted member of the Estrella Warbirds Museum in Paso Robles and a pilot for the nonprofit Honor Flights, tragically passed away Sept 2, 2022. Just before his passing, Smoot, alongside the Gooney Birds, orchestrated a memorable “Legacy Flight,” taking 17 local veterans on a tour around San Luis Obispo County in Betsy’s Biscuit Bomber. This flight was a gesture of gratitude and respect for the veterans as they eagerly anticipated their official Honor Flight Tour to Washington, DC, later in the year. In tribute to Smoot’s legacy, his family has decided to uphold his memory by organizing the Sherman Smoot Legacy Flight annually on June 6th, the anniversary of D-Day.
The Sherm Smoot Legacy Flight will be held Saturday, June 6th, 2026, 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM at The Estrella Warbird Museum. If you are interested in learning more, click this link.
New in the Red Ball Motor Pool
The two new vehicles in the Red Ball Motor Pool are a 1942 Chevrolet G7117 (US Navy) as well as a Dodge 1944 WC-52 weapons carrier. We have also added two trailers (a 1944 1/4 ton T-3 Bantam serial # 941288 and a 1978 M416 Parkhurst 1/4 ton serial # NWO1JV-1394).
New From The Woodland Auto Display
Recently added to the auto display is this custom 1949 Willys-Overland Jeepster.
A total of 19,122 Jeepsters were built from 1948-1950 with only 2,960 being sold in 1949. These were built as a Phaeton design crossover from the Willys utilitarian jeeps and trucks.
However, by today's standards, among other things, they were underpowered and geared to low for our current road speeds. The goal was to keep the Jeepster looking original but upgraded for being driven at today's highway speeds in comfort.
This one was upgraded by Paso Robles resident, Lem Tolliver with changes as noted in the specifications section.
