Country:  | WWII Aircraft/Military Museums - World Tour
Survey of various Aircraft/Military around the world
We were discussing earlier whether it's better to have a separate thread for each museum, or to combine them all on one thread. I have pics from several museums, so I think I'll post them all on this thread, with links to all the other museums that have had separate threads. Quote:

Country: | Well to start off with I've got some pictures from the Commonweath Air training Museum, at Brandon, Manitoba in Canada.
This is the only Commonweath Training Museum today, it has examples of almost all of the major types used in the program

Sorry for the bright windows in the background, a dark hanger against a bright window is a little tricky. Quote:

I should probably try to take the pics on a dark day {with flash of course}

Country: | Warhawk museum - Nampa, Idaho
Hey Thanks Micdrow! 
I was starting to think nobody noticed... 
I have some more from the C.A.T. museum on the next roll for later.
For now I'll post the some from the Warhawk museum in Nampa, Idaho.
This museum is somewhat aircraft poor, they have only a Warhawk & a Hurricane. {+ a parial Waco & an older Fokker}. However they have a HUGE collection of WWII memorabilia, one of the most extensive I've seen other than in "National" museums

I have some funny pics from the Warhawk museum, {maybe not quite PC!}
These were bags filled with sand, used at county fairs to throw baseballs at. {knock-em down}
