They did not have all the airplanes I hoped for Ta152 and Me262 just to name a few, but they had other planes I did not expect like the infamous N1K2 and the Hurricane Mk IIC (Got a great picture of its "Hizookas").

If you saw any news about opening day, apparently some Japanese/American Protesters snuck paint in and apparently damaged the Enola Gay. Unfortunatley, they had closed the walkway down that went next to it and denied me a good picture of the F6F Hellcat. The good news I guess is that anybody wearing a "No More Hiroshimas" Shirt was thrown out on their asses.

Stay tuned for Pics.

There is a 262 in the same room as a P-80 at the Air and Space Museum.

Sounds like there is probably still a lot of stuff at Garber, which is their restoration facility and warehouse.

Now if you REALLY want to see a lot of planes, go to the USAF museum in Dayton OH.

That exhibit was not open or not there, because I didnt see either.
