Great stuff Paul.
that's the kind of road trip I like - none of this "Oh, look at those trees, and that bird !" - but lots of aircraft instead !

Great pictures Paul! Can't believe I revived my Air Force Museum thread the same day you started this one. Did you get to take the behind the scenes tour?

Thanks Glenn, unfortunately no we didn't get the tour though next time. That place is probably one of the hardest places I have ever shot as far as lightning goes.

Few more

The tour takes a good chunk of the day but is well worth it. It's like the junkyard of a plane nuts dreams :lol:

We spent 2 days there when I took thoes pictures, 8 hours the first day of which 1/2 were spent on this tour, and 6 hours the second day

Some point I will go back, in 2018 the Memphis Bell goes on display. The tour for the restoration was only on Fridays so main reason why we could not get to it.
