wingslinger Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 (edited) After finding myself at Newark Air Museum last week, I found myself this week at the New England Air Museum just outside of Hartford, CT. They have a stellar collection of aircraft including a B-29, an F-14, an F-86, an F-100, an F-105, a P47, a Corsair, a Hellcat and many others... lots of choppers too including an Iroquois and a bunch of Sikorsky's (including some really old ones). I'll post more soon but I thought I'd throw a few shots up... I have many more, got close ups of an MB7 bang seat too if anyone is interested... Saw a guy there who was measuring up the undercarriage of the Tomcat, said he was making some 1/32 resin stuff...

wingslinger Posted February 22, 2008 Author Share Posted February 22, 2008 Wow! Hell of a drive from Lincolnshire to New England. Nice pics though. Andy, if I can recover from you suggesting that Newark is in Lincolnshire.... (as a Nottingham boy I have to be offended ) I'm going to try and set a new kinda record this weekend... I'm in Chicago now, heading to Dallas on Saturday. If I can get to the Cavanaugh museum then it'll be Newark, New England and Texas air museums in a little over 8 days... I will post some more images... promise Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingslinger Posted February 24, 2008 Author Share Posted February 24, 2008 (edited) Just in case you missed it... I posted a bunch more images on the 'Aviation Photography' section... seemed more appropriate...

JosephLalor Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 I think it is possible to drive to Hartford from Newark in one day - Newark, New Jersey, that is! Newark Liberty was my point of entry to the US. That sounded like quite a visiting agenda for eight days. Joseph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingslinger Posted February 24, 2008 Author Share Posted February 24, 2008 That sounded like quite a visiting agenda for eight days. Of course I had my work agenda wrapped around it... but just made sure that I looked for air museums on the way ;-). At least to get a couple of hours doing something for me... since Feb 6th I've been in: London, Paris (twice), Amsterdam, Nottingham, New York, Hartford, Chicago and currently Dallas... off to LA on Tuesday... it's a busy old time right now. Hey, any good air museums in the LA area?? M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, any good air museums in the LA area??M I suppose it depends on what you mean by 'in the LA area'. There's Planes of Fame, at Chino Airport, but that's about 50 miles inland from LA. There's also Palm Springs and March Field. I daresay those in the know can give you better info - I've not been to California yet. You certainly are busy!
