    That's just down the road from me and I have been there many times. If you go after 4pm you can park for free, giving you 90 minutes to see at least a few things.

      A couple years ago they had a Star Wars X-Wing in the restoration area, but I never made it over to see it before it was gone.

    Best museum yet for me is the USAF museum in Dayton. Amazing. We’re lucky in Canada, with a very good one in Ottawa and the CWH in Hamilton (where I met you Andy, at the recent model show - a real pleasure - but still waiting on the Canadian AHHQ’s to launch…. Any news?).

    Hi Andy, that is a extremely excellent museum, it must have been fun trying to p.ace all these aircraft into their current positions, my only 'issue' would getting a decent photo with all the aircraft so close togrther, would love to visit one day, havebyou ever considered visiting the Australian Armour and Artillery Museum in Cairns? You would have a great time, best regards from Australia, Les

  • @wwiiinplastic4712
    @wwiiinplastic4712 Před 2 měsíci +3

    I have not been there in so long; I would love to go back now that I have a better camera. When I was there you could see parts of the Horten 229 scattered about in the work rooms for the restoration project. I also need more Do-335 and He-219 shots before I start those builds. I hope if there is a nuclear war and D.C. is struck the blast doesn't reach this fantastic museum.

    Great video, I need to get up to the museum one day, lived just down the road from there in the 1960/70s. I saw that the B-29 appeared to have no defensive armament, so I looked it up and that aircraft was one of the "Silverplate" bombers modified to carry the atomic bomb and only carried tail guns. That really is the Enola Gay which dropped the first atomic bomb.

      Those of us that grew up around Dayton decade ago know the answers. We also know where at least 2 of the entrances are to the underground system, one is near the airport in Vandalia. The other, well, you’ll have to find out, but I’ll just say when you move things in and out of there it’s best to be close to an Interstate.

  • @salparadise1220

    Love those tri-engine Junkers planes. Such an iconic design.Up there with the DC47, B17, Spitfire.
    Also, strange how most German tanks/planes were blocky, with lots of hard, straight edges, and the allies had stuff that was lots of curves.
    Jazz, as an influence in society?
    A more relaxed mindset, in general?
    Or just, look to nature, copy birds as such as possible, they fly really well and are mostly a series of curved surfaces? The curved arch is stronger than the pointed arch?
