    Here’s the second batch.

    Here’s two shots of the Ho VI at the Udvar-Hazy center of the NASM.

    You can see the Ho III (barely) in the top left of one of the pictures.

    There is also a Ho III fuselage down on the floor beside the Fw 190 (in a jig).

    The Ho VI is my personal favorite Horten, and I don’t understand how anyone could fit in such a small cockpit.

    Yes, I visited the smithsonian. I’ve been gone most all week because school’s started up.

    I’ve got more pictures I’ll post. Unfortunately, I’ve got some homework I’ve gotta do.

    True. But she’s in rough shape.
    No clue what she’s like inside.

    I’m wondering if they’re going to restore her.

    Some of the aircraft mainly the fighters, the A-26, the C-119, the B-25, and a few others are restored.

    The B-36 is currently on display, but missing paint. Glass was missing in areas and it looked like it had been stripped. Apparently, they restore some aircraft on the spot. Not so with the B-29 which is in the restoration hangar. So we might see her (Vulcan, I’m too sleepy to look up the serial) restored in the not-too-distant future.

    Too bad the museum isn’t at an airport.

    Or the one in the SAC Museum…

    No time to find a better pic right now.

    Hi Scarecrow,
    All very dramatic and enigmatic. However, you can intrigue us or get help – it looks like you ain’t going to get both.

    State what camera you have. You’ve yet to say if it’s a DSLR, or wet film job. Low light photographic techniques are totally different for each. Do you have a tripod?

    I have an odd sense of humor.

    It’s just a point and shoot Kodak DX7950. Tripods aren’t allowed. Monopods are, though, but aren’t a lot of help.

    I was also forbidden from using the internet the past couple days. Oh well.

    I originally wanted people to guess because I was afraid if I told it right out, a bunch of people would tell me to get it and it was uncertain at that point whether I would be able to post them quickly. Then my odd sense of humor kicked in and made it a guessing game…a very very poor guessing game. But considering my age, it shouldn’t surprise anyone.

    Mutliple Ohka pics soon–perhaps in a couple hours?

    It isn’t there. I was there two weeks ago.

    Hmm….when they’re all done, is there any chance at all of them all getting together and flying in formation??

    Man, I’d love to see that…maybe even a formation led by Paul Allen’s Me 262…

    I can’t express what I’m feeling right now.

    The Beau is the one main aircraft from WWII that I want to see, but haven’t. (There are a few others, but that’s the top of my list)

    I dislike apples. But hey, it isn’t my computer either.

    He’s got photoshop on the PC, but I opted not to bring my usb drive…

    *sigh* you’ll have to wait until later, I have to go see a museum with two airplanes now…and then back to the other one…

    Photography tips would be incredibly welcome. I need recommendations for shooting in low, “dramatic” lighting.

    I’m sure you’ve guessed where I am by now.

    I know it was inevitable but you REALLY don’t want to see them…

    Hah. You can’t hypnotize me! I REALLY do want to see them. I find it fascinating to watch. Unless of course, it was a really valuable airplane (like a Fw 190 or something).

    No offense meant. Just humor.

    If no one tells me how to edit on an Apple, then you won’t see these pictures until next week.
