Wow, where is that museum (Lakeland?). That Convair Sea Dart and the Locheed XFV is worth the visit. I think the Sea Dart should be inside (Pensacola Naval Air Museum would be a great place for it).

Yeah... lakeland.

The wind tunnel model was very cool... I bet HH himself handled it.
The XFV was quite a suprise... I think it's the only one.
I was so use to seeing the Sea Dart at the San Diego museum that I bearly noticed it.. but you are right. It's pretty darn rare!

Nice photos and a great collection.

Again, great shots mate.

I wonder if the XVF jockey (Skeets somebody or other ?) had a big 'post-it' note on his panel saying 'Caution, land upright on tail !'

I haven't seen a Sea Dart except in some old videos so it jumped out at me too.

You should check out the San Diego museum. Theirs a sea Dart on static there. It's a nice little museum. They had a fire a few years back that destroyed some rare birds.
