I could go on, but I have some notes to do for another class, but if there are any interesting planes that you've seen, please comment below. I'd love to hear what other people have had the pleasure of seeing.
@metallicplanes cool
@BlackhattAircraft I wish I could go there. Pretty sure I'll never be able to until the next 10 years or so, when I complete my education. But once I do I'll be there
No biggie @SmallSlav1061og
Awesome! @Bman01
thanks for spotlighting my post!
I’ve seen the real Wright flyer in D.C.
@metallicplanes Yeah, I'm very fortunate to be able to visit and see so many rare aircraft. Its really a pleasure to be able to work at an air musuem as well, definitely one of the most gratifying things I do
@TheFantasticTyphoon 11 is good, I've been to a museum that has 6 aircraft and another that has 4 lol, so thats a good number
@BlackhattAircraft
That is cool! Certainly beats the eleven aircraft at the museum I work at.
I wish I lived there. You have a LOOOOOOOOT of planesi n flying condition. That is kinda surprising
That, is a LOOOOOOOOT of planes
Oh! I didn’t know that lol, I was under the impression that it was a Japanese interceptor @Brields95
@BlackhattAircraft It's the formal designation of the Jenny. Curtiss J4NY.
@TheFantasticTyphoon I should mention that I to work at a air museum too. We have around 115 aircraft and 35% of the museum is flyable, so that cool
@thefalkenreich Wait, did I put flying? Oops, I meant static xD. Thanks for the catch
A flying F-104? Aren’t they super dangerous
@Brields95 I've never heard of a J4ny, what is it? My guess is an interceptor, but Idk
@TheFantasticTyphoon Yeah, I want to go on a air museum tour of the UK eventually, that would be cool
Have seen a real flying J4NY and a replica wright flyer
@BlackhattAircraft
I haven't seen as many US aircraft! It's to be expected seeing as I live in the UK and you live in the US.
@TheFantasticTyphoon Cool! I haven't seen as many British aircraft as I would like to admit, the one's I can remember are 2 vampires, 1 meteor, 2 Sea Fury's, and one's I mentioned above
In the museum I work at:
2 Hawker Hunters, static.
1 Hawker Sea Hawk, static.
1 Gloster Meteor, static.
1 de Havilland Venom, under restoration.
1 de Havilland Sea Vixen, static.
1 Hawker Harrier, static.
1 English Electric Lightning, capable of engine runs.
1 Percival Sea Prince, static/capable of engine runs after some work.
1 Blackburn Buccaneer, capable of engine runs.
1 Avro Shackleton, capable of running four of its six engines.
