I was at Mcchord AFB today and the museum's grounds are relocating. Most of the aircraft are scattered around the base now. Quite abit or excavating going on at the new site. The aircraft are all receiving new paint. When its all done it should be great. Going to try and pit a picture of two warbirds below if it will do it.

Made it there today. Was quite wet at times but thats normal for the Pacific Northwest. The museum grounds are layed out very nice with: *Twisting & turning sidewalks *Night spot lights on the aircraft *Brass display plaques on brick support towers *Cement under all the aircraft *Even a drinking fountian Their restoration hanger is very nice also. Currently they are restoring the outboard wings of the BPY. The also have their B-18 in side also.
