After visiting this monument we went to the Deutsches Museum. It is a wonderful museum but unfortunatly one day is not eneogh time to view the whole thing.

Also most of the Aircraft that are part of this museum are at an annex at an old WW2 Airfield that is on the outskirts of Munich.

Also my batteries went dead so I have to wait until I recieve copies of the pics that my friend took until I post more.

Until then here are a few pics that I took while I could.

Great pic's, Chris. I was in Munich in early 1955, and the only thing I
remember is the Hofbrau House...... and it don't look the same. I did notice
the pic's of the German WW-II aircraft do not have a swastika on the
tail. I thought museums were exempt from the law...

They are exempt and I dont understand why these do not have them. If I drive about an hour from here to the Sinsheim Museum they have them on there. I truely dont have an answer why these dont.

For example the pics below are from the Sinsheim Museum. I can post more pics in another thread from that museum. It is a very nice museum as well.

Shooting inside a muesum is always a difficult. You never know how the lighting will turn out. I lost my interior shots at a museum in Korea because they turned out the lights 45 mins before closing. I missed out on a P51, F86 and AT6 in Korean markings and some Migs. I like your picture of the 163 above the 262.

Yeah the lighting allways seems to suck and unless you have pro camera like Eric they wont turn out all that great most of the time.
