Robins AFB Museum 20/3/16

Hi All,

Had a good morning at the Air Force Museum, there was a function on so 2 of the hangars were closed. But the sunny weather made up for it.

Hope you enjoy

Here is another British connection. The pictures were taken in 2004 – I don’t know if it’s still there.

I wonder why most of the prop-driven aircraft have their prop blades in the feather position, maybe something to do with their removal and refitting, perhaps? You could ask the question if you are going back there.

Is it as simple as avoiding any tendency to ‘windmill’ ?

The usual excellent photos of some nice heavies from the USAF inventory there, Si. Looks like the weather’s behaving too.
