Finishing the tour of Week's collection on my best Disney World trip, I have decided to post my rejects on the chance they may show something of interest. To me, they show the typical crowded museum allowing difficult photography and the mixed lighting of hangars. This was the old days of real film and I brought ASA 1600 as well as 200 color print film. Since I spent all day, the sun changed the lighting inside.




Under the wing of the Lockheed Vega is a Curtiss model D headless pusher


B-24J-1-FO


B-26 s/n 40-1461 mfg 1941

Travelair B-4000R mfg 1928


Standard J-1 made in 1955 from two aircraft for the Spirit of St. Louis movie and also used in The Great Waldo Pepper flown with Hispano Suiza A of 150 HP


F4U-4 "Angel of Okinawa" photoed at many airshows now one of Week's birds. The cockpit sections are F4U simulators. I made one turn towards a Zero and was shot down
almost immediately. I think something like 37 seconds.


That's all there is for the trip -- photos by ed
