US Air force Museum Trip 4-4-13

[bigjohn]

My Son Little John and I went to the US Air Force Museum today. I thought I’d share a few pics I took while there.

Little John with an A-10 Warthog



Tail section of an F4. I thought this was neat as I can see some uneven “sheen” on the paint



The business end of a B-52 Bomber



Nose of the B-29 “Boxcar”





ME 262



B-17G Shoo Shoo Shoo Baby



Neat diorama Idea?



I thought this was an interesting find. Tail section from a crashed B-17 used as a farmers shed

Always wanted to go there. Model show will be held at that very same place next weekend if I am correct. But I am not going... I am too broke but actually I have to work next weekend.

Good catch on F-4 tail... very interesting!

CB, Bookmark this thread for updates. I'll post more pics here and there as I get them processed for the forum. I'll just use this thread because I might have to pull them back off PB at a later date if it starts getting full.

Model show? Maybe I went to early? Just my luck. But I only live an hour and a half drive from Dayton.

My mistake... not at the museum but at hotel few minutes away from the museum. Here's more info...

That's a great museum to visit. I went a couple of years ago. It's unbelievable the amount of stuff that they have there.

BigJohn - Did you make it over to the "Experimental Hanger"? That XB-70 there is a jaw dropper!

No, I didn't make it to that hanger, but I have seen it before. Due to budget cuts, the Experimental hanger is now closed.

That's sad news, indeed. Almost everything over there (X planes and Presidential planes) are one of a kind and can't be seen anywhere else.
