There is the Natl Museum of Nuclear Science & History. They have a B-29 which I understand is in bad shape.

This early Harrier is part of the National Aviation Museum located in Rockliffe Ontario just outside of Ottawa.

Is that the Museum of Aviation at Warner Robbins? That F-105 was in the process of being moved indoors I think

Geez, I have enough on my plate with the F-84 and the A-7! It will be going to the National Museum of Nuclear Science & History in ABQ.

Before catapults were fitted to BBs the US Navy experimented with launching airplanes from "flying off platforms" mounted atop main battery turrets. Not only were those aircraft of limited value, but that turret was unusabe until the platform was removed.

The 105 is from Robbins and was photographed outside in October 2010 looking as if she had just come from the paint shop.

The Hawker and the Mossie at are the Canadian National Museum in Ottawa (do the have the Mossie back on public display I hope?).

The Fokker is the D.7 on display at (brain stall) Community Museum in Quebec. Amazingly unrestored and in phenomenal condition. (also the only aircraft in their collection if memory serves)
