Hi to all!
I’m sure there have been more than a few threads on this topic, but I don’t think most of us ever get tired of seeing aircraft and flight clothing. With that it mind I thought it might be nice to post a few pictures of a recent trip to the Wright Patterson Museum . I realize that many of us and particularly those of us who live outside of the US, may never have the opportunity to travel to the museum, so with that it mind I’d like to post a few photos and tell you all a little about WP National Air Force Museum . I promise not to bore you all with “Death by Photos” so I’ll post a few each day
so it won’t be overwhelming. The first thing I wanted to try to convey is the massive size of the entire complex . There are five buildings that are so big, that its difficult to imagine what the insides look like without actually being there. Each building can accommodate 40 or 50 small fighter size aircraft and a couple of the buildings house large B-52 size aircraft . I looked for a photo of the outside of the complex to try and show everyone the size and the magnitude of buildings.
To give you all an idea of the enormous size of the inside of the museum, here’s a photo taken of just the nose portion of a B-52 Bomber that looks like it is a toy among its surroundings.
