I had to drive up to the great Central Valley of California Yesterday for business. I visited another manufacturer, and much to my surprise the following were right across the Freeway....

and just so you know, most of "Kalifornia" looks like this and not like Baywatch. (Picture Kansas placed between San Fransisco and LA)

ty Funked.

Looks like a nice museum, wish I could have hung around longer. Don't see many B-24's these days. Do you know what the old 2 engine bomber is?

ah, thks Funked.  We had one down here at McChord, during an airshow, about 80% restored.  Not sure if it was their own or a traveler.  It was not in flyable condition.

The last three, from top to bottom (I believe)

1. Lockheed Ventura: http://www.military.cz/usa/air/war/bomber/b34/b34_en.htm

2. Martin (English Electric) B-57 Canberra

3. Don't know.  Looks Soviet though.

Last two are a CF-100 and a B-45.

Funked, while it looks like you're prolly right on the CF-100 (although it kinda looks like a Canberra) the B-45 only had two engines in the photos I found:

It is definately a Avro CF-100 (Canuck)...yes it is actually called the Canuck.  My father used to work on them.  :)

That's the plane the Canadian government had Avro work on instead of the the first commerical jet plane (the Jetliner).

Yep, between the Avro Jetliner and Arrow, Canada could have had the largest aircraft manufacturing industry in the world.  Ah well.

We had one of those B-45s land at Mt. Home AFB in the late 80's.  Watching it lumber in was pretty damn humorous.
