More Air & Space
Yes it is, and you can barely make out an FA-18 under the wing of the F-84.
The FA-18 was the one used by NASA for research, as are many of the aircraft and spacecraft on display. I’ll check for more pics – the lighting with the open ceiling makes for difficult photography. My last visit was made to specifically check out the P-39 on display but I was greatly disappointed to find it hanging high up on the roof and completely unaccessable. As I said, the lighting isn’t the best – maybe somebody can clean it up with Photoshop.

Is that one of the YF-16 prototypes in the background?

Nice pics AVI. That looks like an excellent museum.
Those carrier models look impressive.
Any of the Kestrel, or any more at all would be great.
Cheers.
Ben.
