Bentonville's Vintage Warbird Restoration Legacy
Welcome to A New American Town. In this episode, we are joined by Jason Muszala, CEO of The Roost, a group based at Thaden Field in Bentonville dedicated to the operation, maintenance, and restoration of vintage WWII warbirds. The Roost supports both Steuart Walton’s private collection and the Flying Heritage & Combat Armor Museum in Washington state. Their work allows our community to experience living history through special events, flyovers, and one-of-a-kind restorations.
We talk about the work The Roost is doing locally, the national recognition they’ve just received, and how these efforts tie into Steuart Walton’s impact on aviation. We’ll also touch on how you can see The Roost’s work in Bentonville and what the future of these world-class aviation projects might look like for our community.
Come see them in person at the UP.Summit Community Day September 28, 2025! https://www.upsummit.day/
