San Diego Air&Space Museum- part 3

Postby beaky » Sun Sep 02, 2007 12:01 am

WARNING:
Things get a little ugly here. I had to use the flash, so i had to get too close, so... but hey! Have a look at what they've got lying around here...

A Zero. A real one. It hangs fairly low, so... (looks over each shoulder) I touched it.  ::)

MiG-15 gun pod, shown as it would be in the field.

To me, even a bad Skyhawk picture is better than none at all. ;)

Image      


Not sure if it's a replica or restored, but... wow.  8-)

Image      



Haha!! Face to face at last... You'd never get me up in one of these, but I do love them. ;D

Image      


I really like the nose art on this P-40... :)

Image      


Got very lucky with this flash photo thru Plexiglas... a DC-3 nose is better than nothing at all.

Next: part 4 (last)
