Looks like he took these on 3-30-2009 using a Nikon D40.

If you right click each photo, then click on "properties" you may be able to read the exif data (Shutter speed, s sop seting, ISO, etc)

Huh? What?? Tail numbers? Histories??

Amazing a musuem can look so nice without black-painted ceilings. It also looks like they figured out a way to keep the various landing gear struts at normal extension ....

Thanks for sharing such nice photos.

Great pics, thanks for taking the time to post them.

Didn't the Corsair used to have "Sun Setter" lettered on the forward fuselage? Or is it still there but on the other side?

thanks again

Hello everyone, I'm glad everyone seems to like the photo's. I use a Nikon D40 with the standard 18-55mm lens, I very rarely use the flash and I shoot 3 or 4 shots handheld. I like to post everything I see because I know a lot of people will never get a chance to see the collection. I did exclude the missiles and space room. I was there in May of 2009. and yes the center section is a Horten Ho IIIh. Thank you all very much, I'm glad you enjoy them.

Regards

FANTASTIC PHOTOGRAPHY! Thanks so much. It certainly is getting filled up with airplanes.

As for the 3 P-61s in storage? Yeah right. There are only 4 known in the world.

well I have seen IN PERSON or in photograph 5, and that doesn't include the one to three (depending on who you talk to) in china and I have heard of at least one in europe although I haven't actually seen it
don't start fights you believe your philosophy on museum planes and ill believe mine! ok? OK!

[Django]

I wasn't starting a fight. There are 4 known (proven) examples in the world. Prove to us there are more. I will be the first to buy you a beer. Ok? Ok!

jet1 it is fine to have your own philosophy on museum aircraft, just understand that it is that. YOUR OWN. And others are entitled to their own. That kind of philosphy is a kick in the pants to those that work very hard on static aircraft.
