Some guys are living our dream...

A brand new small, but outstanding museum opened it's gates on the island Usedom at the baltic coast in Germany.

It's called "Hangar 10" and the approach of the owner family is to display WW2 fighters of 4 countries (Germany, England, USA, Russia) and the corresponding trainer airplane in airworthy condition!
At the moment the hangar contains:

BF 109 Buchon
BF 109 G14 (only static)
Jak 9
Bücker Bü 131 Jungmann
DH82 Tiger Moth
North American AT-6
Boing Stearman
Polikarpow Po-2

A FW-190 D9 is currently under restauration for static display, a Spit T9 (the trainer version of the Mark-IX) is soon ready to fly and after the loss of their P-51D BBD (skyraider incident at Dux) another Mustang (a TF-51) is under construction.

In addition, a third (!) 109, an airworthy E3, is planned for 2012 and a Flugwerk FW-190 A8/N is planned for 2013.

So if you are in the north eastern part of Germany, a visit of this place is a must...

During my visit last Wednesday i took the following pictures.
As I said... These guys are living our dreams...
