I have no idea but it was many hours, sometime working all day for several days, you know how you can get into a zone and it does not feel like work. That was before my grandson was born. I do not have that time today as we watch him every day while my daughter works. I tried a lot of...

Beautiful build. I need to get started . We got back last week after being gone a month so time to get moving

Wow well done. Just got back from the trip so will need to get moving.

The Amelia Earhart Museum Atchison Kansas. Amelia spent her youth in Atchison and they claim their native daughter with a great deal of pride. The museum building is a recent addition that now protects the aircraft. The small airport has a few crop dusters and private aircraft. The...

I was going to stop by Emilia Earharts home in Atchison if it was open on a saturday. Thanks for the aircraft link. I had seen the pony express museum as well. Keeping my fingers crossed things stay calm enough that some things stay open. Where is the conservation area? It may...

Where was this held? Looks like a mini Reading PA at the fly in

Id say the first one posted is more like reality. Numbr 2 pic looks more lemon colored ... Which when you think about how the first flight ended may be appropriate. if mine ends up looking half as good as this I'll be very happy

they have expanded the hangers and have a simulated carrier hanger with the WWII naval collection but you can't get as close to them as you can the others. But again this was 2013 . As I said in earlier posts 5 museums in reasonable proximity to each other. Chino with a great airshow...

I was hoping to see the restored Judy dive bomber. In the later stages of the war it was fairly successful at hitting US carriers in conventional attacks. Though this model had come with an inline engine they have rebuilt it as a DY4. It will never fly but can taxi. Of course they have the...

I had been able to visit Chino perhaps for the first time 20 years earlier vs this 2013 trip. I had my wife with me on a business leadership training trip back then. This was the first time she had ever traveled with me. She had never gone with me to the little towns in the middle of no...

What was nice about Yanks at the time was you could get into the restoration hanger. This P-51A does not have the perforated dive brakes.

This is Yanks Museum. They are on the same Chino airfield about an hours drive from Santa Monica. I did not remember this one existing when I last visited in the 90's but perhaps it did and was tiny or I just missed it. Great collection and they were having biplane ride for $50. This was 2013...

To start that 2013 road trip of 5 air museums here is what was then the new museum at Santa Monica. They were on the other side of the airfield on my last visit in the 90's. Does anyone remember it from then? I found a few of the old film process pictures. Film....kids have no idea what that...
