ReplyDeleteI'd be hard-pressed to name a favorite... ALL the planes are just so very cool, each in its own way.
DeleteI couldn't pick a favorite, but seeing space shuttle would be really neat. You did good on the pics - even squeezed in a couple of people to personalize the photos.
ReplyDeleteSeein' the Shuttle WAS cool. That was the highlight of the "space and rockets" section of the museum... we're almost ALL about the airplanes, less so about the rockets. But the Shuttle was cool.
DeleteThanks for your kind words, Lou.
P-61... a very rare sighting. Damn beautiful plane pr0n, Buck.
ReplyDeleteThank ya, Sir!
DeleteAwesome photos.
ReplyDeleteEvery. Single. One.

That is one cool place. Thanks for the pictures.
ReplyDeleteYou're most welcome, Curtis.
DeleteWalking down the concourse at Midway field one is surprised to find an SBD-2 Dauntless hanging from the roof. They turn up in the most surprising places.
