USAF Museum trip
« on: March 10, 2011, 10:31:01 PM »
Well as I mentioned in the other thread my family took me  off to the USAF Museum for a birthday treat. Here are some of the photos I took that day, they are not great but wanted to share with you guys.

Quick intro I'm the fat bald guy in the F16 sim.

A few more.








I had a great day but we arrived late so couldn't get over to the Presential and Xplane area, maybe my next birthday ???

What?  No picture of the Beaufighter? :)

Nice pics otherwise.  It's been a long time since I've been there and they've added some new birds and redone some others.  Gotta make the trip again!

I went there a couple of years ago and I spent allot of the time walking around and just gawking. I had a blast and I want to go again.
Did you get a chance to go over and see the restoration of the Memphis Belle?
