As we made our way into the American Air Museum I could see I was going to have problems photographing here. The planes was really squashed in, and the light was terrible.
This photo gives you some idea of what I was up against. From Left to right, F-111E, SR71A Blackbird, B-52D, MQ-1 Predator, U-2C, B-29 Super Fortress, C-47A Skytrain, UH-1H Iroquois, F-15A Eagle and P-47D Thunderbolt.
I did manage to get some shots, either with my camera or my phone. Here is the U-2C spyplane 56-6692, the F-15A Eagle 76-0020, the A10 Thunderbolt II 77-0259 and the F-4J Phantom 155529 all from the post war period up to the 70s. (I couldn't decide on which F-4J photo so you get 2 for the price of 1)
From the 2nd World War era are the P-47D Thunderbolt 226413, a P-51D Mustang 472218 and B-25J Mitchell 43-4064.
There was also a PT-17 Stearman trainer 25, a B-17G Flying Fortress 231983 and a B-24M Liberator 44-5093 from the same period.
The next instalment will be the conservation and Battle of Britain Hangers......
