Kojack Posted June 26, 2016 Report Posted June 26, 2016 Hi. Most of you likely don't know me, but that isn't important. What is though, is that I just got back from the National Museum of the United States Air Force. I took somewhere in the neighborhood of 400 photographs, and have put about 50 or so of their Early Years/WWI aircraft into this gallery: https://imgur.com/a/Y7kf4 Thought some of you might be interested. As I said, I've got tons more of their other exhibits as well. I'll post those if anybody's interested. Enjoy. Klaiber, J5_Hotlead and Stuka 3 Quote

Somnus Posted June 27, 2016 Report Posted June 27, 2016 I definitely want to visit! Will you be posting the more modern aircraft as well? Kojack 1 Quote
Kojack Posted June 27, 2016 Author Report Posted June 27, 2016 I definitely want to visit! Will you be posting the more modern aircraft as well? I sure can. Here are the last two galleries. Cold War/Modern Aircraft: https://imgur.com/a/yZOZV Space/Experimental/Presidential Aircraft: https://imgur.com/a/oNSB8 I took a ton of pictures, but for everything I took a picture of, there was probably a dozen or so things I missed. I got there around 10:30 AM, and left at 5:00 PM closing time. There's lots to see, and even a few flight simulators to try. If you go, I'd recommend going early so you can see everything the museum has to offer. Even then, I've been at least a half a dozen times, and each time there's something new. As their website says, it is the largest display of military aircraft in the world. Kojack 1 Quote
93rd Aero, R.Talbot Posted June 27, 2016 Report Posted June 27, 2016 I liked the blunder awards. Should do that around here. Quote
-Hawkeye- Posted June 27, 2016 Report Posted June 27, 2016 I liked the blunder awards. Should do that around here. Isn't that what the wound badges are? 93rd Aero, R.Talbot 1 Quote
Somnus Posted June 27, 2016 Report Posted June 27, 2016 Thanks! That MiG-21 looks weird with the nosecone fully extended while it's on the ground. And man, that GAU-8 is so recognizable! Quote
