Dhooglass Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Hi all, In the spirit of the upcoming MiG-15 release, I thought I would upload some pics I took the other day at the museum. They also have a really cool cutaway display of the F-86 which I will also include. If anyone would like to see something more specific, I would be glad to have an excuse to visit again (I only live 30 minutes away). They have on display practically every aircraft that is available from DCS (Mig 21, F-86, UH-1, P-51, FW-190, A-10, etc). -Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavagai Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 I love that museum. Did you take the opportunity to sit in the F-16A cockpit? It gives you some perspective on just how narrow our field of vision is when we fly flight sims with a computer. 1 P-51D | Fw 190D-9 | Bf 109K-4 | Spitfire Mk IX | P-47D | WW2 assets pack | F-86 | Mig-15 | Mig-21 | Mirage 2000C | A-10C II | F-5E | F-16 | F/A-18 | Ka-50 | Combined Arms | FC3 | Nevada | Normandy | Straight of Hormuz | Syria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhooglass Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 Yes I did! I had to fight my kids for it though :) They also have a F-4 pit there as well which was equally awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIMBER SOUR Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I grew up in Dayton, learned to fly at the Wright-Patterson AFB Aero Club, and visited the Air Force museum (now known as the National Museum of the United States Air Force) literally a hundred times or more. It's an epic place to visit that's far larger than both of the National Air and Space Museum campuses in DC combined. There's an extremely well-done virtual tour that lets you explore the museum from the comfort of your home, although nothing replaces seeing it in person. I remember when there weren't any railings preventing you from touching any of the aircraft. And to this day, aircraft still leak fuel and oil onto drip pans placed under engines and wheel wells. http://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/virtualtour The tour has audio and subtitles available. The cockpit panoramas are nicely done as well. Anyway, look here for the virtual tour: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
