Title: Mighty Eighth Museum
Post by: HomeBoy on December 28, 2007, 03:13:13 PM

Just came back from a trip where I spent a day at the 8th Air Force Museum in Savannah, Ga.  What a wonderful time.  Took lots of pictures.  Check them out at my web site (http://snomhf.exofire.net).

Indeed.  Told my wife (who was laughing at me for spending eight hours at the museum) that I needed more time because I only got an hour in the library.  They must have every book ever written about military aircraft there.

Sad thing is, I've lived here (Savannah) for over 2 years and still haven't gone there yet.

I was there many years ago and it was nice.  Looks like they've added quite a bit to it since then.  The model airfield is an impressive piece of work that any scale modeler should check out - each aircraft is meticulously done in with good piece of detailing.  I was there for almost 3 hours and never made it upstairs to the library.  Definitely worth a 2nd trip!
