They had a nice polished T-33. But no F-106,,,,,,bummer. I was hoping to show my wife an OV-10A Bronco. Not one of them either.

The front entrance and tower. The view was great from the tower with all the leaves turning color.

F-105 Thunderchief. I don't think any of these are still flying anywhere.

Nice pictures, Bullhunter. Is that a replica of the Enola Gay? I thought I saw somewhere a few years ago that the nose and cockpit of the airplane were going to the Smithsonian. My late uncle was one of the people who worked on that airplane and was somehow involved with the atom bomb. He never talked about it but his son has a photo of his dad standing next to the plane. There is also one of him with Paul Tibbetts.

They displayed the nose and cockpit at the downtown Air and Space Museum some years ago. There was a big stink. I thing it was about an apologetic message with the display. The director (or some such) of Air and Space got canned later. The nose got reassembled to the AC and was on display when the Dulles Air and Space opened.

Ballanaca Pacer, originally to be used by Lindberg NY to Paris... Disagreement between old man Ballanaca and him turned him to Ryan
