Hi, I'm Blackhatt, I'm a museum guide at an Air museum.

Last Saturday was cleaning day

yay

On the outside that sounds like it sucks, but it was actually a lot of fun. I cleaned a giant hangar and with a ton of planes, I was mostly going around with a dust mop, going underneath wings and and around fuselages.

I also got to clean some planes...

Including, but not limited to...
Mig-17
F-86
P-80
Gloster Meteor
Folland Gnat
DeHavilland Vampire
Douglas D558-2 Skyrocket (Yes a real one)
A ton of real replica air racers from the 20's and 30's
Mig-15 Trainer
Mig-21
He-100
Me-163
J2m3 Raiden
D4Y
J8m

Needless to say, I'm kinda tired lol

Edit - Forgot to mention our Bt-13 and Ercoupe flew

    Tbh, I don’t know. I think it’s going well, but one of the team members just died unfortunately, to my knowledge at least. It’s probably not going to be flying for a number of years still. @Brields95

    I often clamber over a Hawker Hunter, de Havilland Sea Vixen and Gloster Meteor to clean those. Not as cool as what you do, though!
