A few of the better shots from the U.S. Air Force Museum



This was flying overhead when we arrived:







Plenty of old birds overhead :






My favorite WWI plane, the Fokker DVII:





Oddball (got to see one of these take off from Xenia  that day. 8-) )

Sexy Russian bird:






Thanks for looking. 

That looks like a very interesting place. Glad you had a good time. 8-)

OK, I'll bite. What is it?

I'm stumped.. and I have photos of it too (blurrier than yours)..

Not sure, but it was very graceful in its movement through the sky for such an ungainly looking beast, and it was fairly big.


here is a slightly enhanced and enlarged view looking at it from behind, the details are still pretty muddy, but you can see two engines and the two crew member's legs, and a good portion of the frame work.

They all kind of look alike to me at that stage of aviation.

I would say that's it.

I don't think there's much doubt about it. Look at the shadow in this pic. http://www.wright-b-flyer.org/web-brown/bb004-070721-wbf-flying-IMG_1050-good-sm.jpg

That shadow is dead on.  Good eye. 

Can't be many aircraft with that configuration flying in that area.

There can't be that many aircraft like this flying anywhere. 

Kudos to those who dedicate themselves to keeping her in the air. 

Shane, I was at the Museum on Saturday too. The Wright B was doing flyovers for the Air Force marathon.

You could've been standing right next to Brett and I several times and we'd have never known it. 

Were you there for the marathon?

looks like fun was had by all, you guys will have to let me know when you do it again, I'm only a few hours north of there in ohio

Had I not had school I probably would have joined you guys.  I'm owed a favour by my mum that I could have used on a trip down there.

If you would give me more warning I would probably go also, I haven't be to the museum in about 8 years. I think its been total re-done since I was there. I think I can drive it in about 4 hours from Pittsburgh.
