Great pictures Bob! Where did you go to get those? Please tell me it was here in Atlanta, so I may go see them.

Thanks for sharing with us!

:angelwings: If you want to visit the Fantasy of Flight museum, you will have to go to Polk City, Florida.

From Orlando/East/North
Go West on I-4 towards Tampa. Take the SR-559 exit - exit #44. Turn right toward Polk City & Fantasy of Flight. At the flashing red light, turn left. FOF will be less than a 1/4 mile down on your left.

Here is the link to their web site:

Those are some nice pictures. Looks like a great museum to visit. Those planes look to be in mint condition.

They actually cleaned up the place nicely since all of the hurricane damage. Some airplanes were damaged beyond repair, however. So, they scrapped the unrepairable ones for parts. They have warehouses all over the country where they store parts. For instance, if you need a Messerschmitt Bf 109 engine, they probably have one.

A couple of their aircraft that were tied down before the hurricane struck actually broke free. They flew away on their own in the storm and were found miles away on a railroad track.
