Thanks for the heads-up Brandon.

Not visiting Moffett this year, I see (where I took some shots of it last year), but it's coming to Buchanan Field on May 1-2, all of 3 miles from me. :D

Unusual backdrop of one of the airship hangars.......

Hopefully this time someone won't retract the gear on the ground.

I think the horse has been dead for awhile, you can stop beating it.

I am still somewhat new to this forum, and found out that you all had a poll when the crash landing took place. Now I see what you meant. Although my view doesn't change.

The hangars are indeed impressive Brandon.

I'm visiting there again in 2 weeks, for a presentation on the recent investigations of the wreck of the USS Macon.

I'll be interested to hear if there have been any recent developments concerning the future of Moffett's 'Hangar One'.

The closest ones we have here are the Akron Air Dock. They are really impressive. I love to fly over to that field, because way off on the horizon you can see this huge hangar sticking up.
