F-4

ORIGINAL: MkXIV

Old Blue angels, the distance the planes are spaced match the actual spacing during the airshows!

There was a reason they painted #4 plane's tail black!

Ever Jap Fan Boy's Favorite and F4U-1 only topped in most feared by......

.... a F4U-4!

Another one of the F6F Note the size of it! it is close to twice the size of the Wildcat

Why was the pic of you and the tourguide tilted?

FM-2

F8F Bearcat

Wildcat

Gonna hafta second guess on this one - looks like a TBM/TBF to me. To confirm look two pictures above the original position of this one where you can see the long greenhouse canopy and the round ball turret. Also, no wheelwell in the nose cowl on this one.

Very cool pictures! Gotta go there.

I really like the cutaway PBY!

Thanks!

Definitely an Avenger. It's too big to be a Wildcat...

Wasn't that Jap thing a George?

Yep, Kawanishi N1K2. Probably the last one left?

These are great pictures!  How much was it to get into the musuem?
 
Did they have models of the aircraft available for sale?

Fantastic pictures!![&o][:D][&o][:D] and of course taken with an excellent camera. Which part of Alabama is it? I really need to go there soon.[:D]

It definately worth the visit.

Not only a collection of aircraft second only the USAF Museum in Dayton, OH.  But it's also worth the trip just to see the "admiral's models" of the USN CVs.  Not sure what they're officially called, but they have huge models (as in, to scale the USS G. Bush is about 9' long) of many of the USN carriers.  From Langly to Essex to Bush.  And a very good library there as well (I had lost track of time, and noticed over an hour had gone by).
 
Definately worth the visit.

Howdy,

I will definitely enjoy the Naval Aviation stuff more than the USAAF one! [:D]Silly me - it is not in Alabama but Pensacola, Florida.[:D] Humm Florida - there is a Disneyland somewhere there? Might be a good reason to visit there using the kid as a reason![:D]

The museum is free and they have a store for purchasing models

Cannot believe that it is FREE!  I would be scared to walk in the model and/or book store!
