Kansas National Guard Museum

I recently visited the KNG Museum and Combat Air Museum located on the former Forbes AFB, just south of Topeka, Kansas. The KNG museum had both Army and Air Force items located just inside the old main gate. I decided to shift gears somewhat from the airplanes and post some pictures of Army stuff (targets). This just inside the old main gate at Forbes. More to follow.

Very nice - got anymore??

+ 1, looks a great museum too, well presented, got a cousin in Kansas, maybe worth visiting now!! (As long as it's nearby, realise how small the UK is compared to just one US state!)
