My kind of air museum – military, blue skies, no barriers…and no people.

Nice pictures. Even with the weather out there, they must take a lot of looking after.

See also the Pacific Coast Air Museum at Santa Rosa airport Ca. Very similar situation. Lots of jet age warbirds and very few visitors………

What i wouldn’t give to have that UH-1 sat on my drive.

#10 is a Ryan Firebee drone from the 60s….

Thank you!

A nice collection and a few of the types we have been lucky enough to have seen fly over here.I am not sure whether some of those airframes are in a queue to be reconditioned/painted but if some of those had been in the UK someone would be saying they needed to be bought inside and preserved.

That’s a fine collection of airframes – and a great set of pics, Mark12.

There seems to be condensation present in many of them, though. That’ll soon wreak havoc with the interiors of the cockpits.

Was the Saab Lansen the one involved in the Tallichet deal which saw a Spitfire PR19 finding its way into the Swedish Air Force Museum?

Yes one of the two flown over to the US.

#10 is a Ryan Firebee drone from the 60s….used for targets and recon.
I saw one outside a state museum in Honolulu years ago, dredged up from the Pacific in one piece.

Anyone note the F-86 is a rare photo recon variant?
Not many made, IIRC, most went to South Korea. Perhaps this one was brought back for conversion into a target drone (the fate of many exported Sabres) which never happened.

Thanks for the photos, must have been a very enjoyable meander. Is number 10 a pilotless thingamy?

Wowser, thanks Pete and not a Spitfire in sight !!! not like you

What on earth is number 10?

Adrian

Thanks for taking the time to post the images you do MK 12.
Appreciated.

I note that there appears to be no tendency to bury them !
