B-17 "909" Visits The Naval Air Station Wildwood, NJ

Took a 100 mile ride down the Garden State Parkway on Thursday to visit the Naval Air Station Wildwood Aviation Museum.

The Collings Foundation warbirds were there and I took a few pics before my camera batteries died. I've seen them many times and taken many pictures, but I never get tired of being in their company.

Great pics. They came to Minnesota for a visit a little over a month ago. Was dark and storms were moving in when I was there so got few pics. That dual C model Mustang was pretty interesting. Saw her at the Gathering of Mustangs a year ago as well. B-25 was here as well.

Sure you can. All you need is a few thousand dollars more equipment, a bit more experience, and an artistic flair.

Oh did I mention talent. You'll need that too.

Kidding aside, great pics.
