Very nice collection there. I visited the Strategic Air and Space Museum outside Omaha, Neb., back in June and got to see a childhood favorite -- the SR-71 Blackbird. They didn't have it set up for anyone to sit in the cockpit though. That'd be awesome. Not too many (essentially none) air museums around here so any chance I get to see one is a treat.
|
that is a great museum and the pics rock, mav! excellent....thanks for sharing.
|
Thanks Bobby it was really hard to get far enough away from the planes to get them to fit in a picture and most of it was pretty dark but I tried to get some good pics for you all me and pappy go there a lot. I forgot to get pics of the planes outside there's a b-17, f-14 and a few others oh well leaves a few for next time
|
Great pics mate, some superb ones. Its a good one of the P-47 because you have someone stood infront of it and it really makes you appreciate the sheer size of the beast. Liking the P40 to :D beautiful plane. Great pics...
My only criticism... (you all know whats coming haha)... No HURRICANE!!! :( This is a disgrace haha. I'm going to start a petition. Every aviation museum in the world should have a Hurricane :D |
Great pics, thanks Marickandgoose. Te hall of I an II WW are fantastic.
|
Great photos! Cool Riddick Eyeshine in the first Pic lol.
That Mig-21 is tiny next to the F-4 isn't it? |
Yeah the phantom is huge in comparison with the mig. They have a lot of ww1 planes there and everytime I see them it absolutely amazes me that people flew them let alone fought in them. They are tiny very fragile looking things I have no doubt I could destroy one with just my bare hands crazy they flew those things lol
|
The F-4 Phantom was a beast. Back home they have one set up as a VFW memorial in the park. I can't imagine Navy aviators landing those things on carriers. It was literally "falling with style" while trying to line up.
|
Should see the size of the f-14 tomcat they have out front of the building that thing is a beast
|
Good pics, thanks for sharing. Oh and look at those wings on that flimsy little N.17s, totally get the feeling you describe, it looks as if you can take it apart with a couple of well-landed punches :-P
|
Seeing the planes suspended from the ceiling brought me back to when i was a kid.i think i had one or 2 hanging from my bedroom ceiling.i imagine they used more than cellophane tape and fishing line for these.

Brilliant bunch of pics there mav&pappy. Nice to see that collection of wwi biplanes :)
|
There was a group going through with a guide and I overheard a interesting story about the Newport. He was saying the French were having a lot of issues with the Newport and it was very unreliable to the point that the French refused to fly it. This was at the same time the U.S was entering the war and we really had no planes. So the French gave all the newports to us Americans lol!!
