Museums

These links to pictures of aircraft museums I've visited post digital camera. I've tried to take pictures which would be useful to the modeler. While all avaition related, you will find an occassional AFV or two. The number of images by no means indicate the amount of displays to see, but merely the amount of time I had to take pictures.

Cavanuagh Flight Museum 2006 (168 images)

Located at Addison, Texas - just outside Dallas This museum is unique in that almost all the planes are restored to flying condition. A few planes are in the open and not roped off, allowing you to get a close up view.

Cradle of Aviation Museum 2006 (54 images)

In Long Island, New York. The musuem features both space and aircrat exhibits relating to the Long Island air & space industry.

Located in Love Field, Dallas. Its a smaller musuem but has some very well kept aircraft on display and often have feature speakers.

Intrepid Air & Space 2006 (76 images)

Located in NY City west side, the Intrepid Aircraft Carrier was recently closed for a 2 year renovation. These pictures were taken the weekend of the closing.

Planes of Fame 2005 (53 images)

Located at Chino, California - a 45 minute drive from San Diego. Contains both static aircraft and ones restored to flying conditions. Every month there's a airshow. There's also a huge model display, unfortunately they are stored in a building that's in a deterioated state, at least when I visited in 2005. They were starting to renovate different parts of the museum, perhaps this has changed by now.

UdvarHazy 2006 (117 images)

This is Washington DC's new addition to the Smithsonian Institute's Air & Space Musuem, its a huge place and a must see. There are some very rare aircrafts being displayed here.
