Is this organization and its raffle on the level? I recently learned that there was some sort of media investigation into Winged Warriors. I haven't researched it yet but I guess someone is making accusations.
 
Ignore this post.
Buying tickets messes with my odds of winning

I don't know about any years but the one I attended back in 2010 and it was legit as far as I could tell. It's run by the The Houston Aeronautical Heritage Society, Inc. ("HAHS"), a 501(c)(3) Texas non-profit corporation.
They called the winner on the phone, his wife answered and nearly had a heart attack while she was going to grab him off the couch. I think they dropped the phone twice.. hehe

They had the phone call mic'ed into the PA system, so we all got a good chuckle out of it.

I know the guy who won a few years ago. He kept the plane for awhile then sold it. So, yes.

I don't know who Winged Warriors are, but the 1940 Air Terminal Museum is legit. They've been raffling off planes for several years now. I was present when they gave one away one year--lots of fun seeing the look of shock on the winner's face!
 
I was shocked when they didn't call me. I was holding the winner yet they gave it to someone else.....total scam!

Actually, when I asked my question, I had already bought a ticket for the Air Terminal Museum raffle. First time. However, I have bought tickets the past few years for Winged Warriors raffle. Just a couple of weeks ago I learned that there were some investigative journalist digging into Winged Warriors and I even got a call/voice mail from a reporter though I did not return the call. I was quite dismayed to learn that Winged Warriors might not be legit. That is what led to my question about the Air Terminal raffle. I have subsequently learned it is on the up and up.
