Surely if you went to that museum you took more pics. Where did you stay while in the area?

The museum is the Flying Heritage Collection in Evertte, WA. It is owned by Paul Allen, one of the founders of Microsoft, so he has plenty of cash to spend on warbirds. The museum has:

It's great that someone has acquired these aircraft and put them back into
flyable condition. All it takes is money and time.

Great pics. Does anyone know if the Germans ever put the manned Buzz Bomb into operational service? I've heard conflicting reports on whether they actually used them or not.

I don't think they were ever made operational. From what I've read Hanna Reitsch was the only test pilot to fly one and live through it.

Pretty poor suicide machine design if the only pilots to die in it were the test pilots:\

Paul is assembling something close to heaven for pilots and airplane lovers!
For years he has been quietly buying aircraft through proxies so nobody knew
a multi-billionaire was the buyer and jack up the prices. You gotta admit that
if any of us on this forum had that kind of money, we'd be doing the same
thing. Thanks for the nice pics!

That's what I said! It sounded to me like they were in the process of getting a Corsair. The place has only been open for a handful of years.
On a random side note, what is that technical looking thing at the bottom of the page? It was behind an aircraft repair building.

I think its sad they don't fly such a collection of aircraft should been seen in their element

My sentiments exactly PB, but seeing as we don't own them we don't have any say so in the matter.
