Labor Day weekend trip to the Air Zoo

[T Bolt]

Labor Day weekend I was in the Kalamazoo area and spent a day at the Kalamazoo Air Zoo and took over 300 Pictures. I'll post some little by little as I find time to go through them weeding out the bad ones and resizing. Some aren't of the best quality as one of the buildings was very dark and I didn't have a tripod with me.

First up:
Hispano HA 1112 Buchon

Nice shots!

 

[vikingBerserker]

NICE!

 

[B-17engineer]

Sweet!

 

[Airframes]

Great pics Glenn, thanks. I see it's still got the BoB movie spinner and dummy guns on the cowling, but has been re-fitted with the wing fences and original cannon installation. Another one for my 'Then and Now' file !

 

[Wildcat]

Great looking colour scheme!

 

[Crimea_River]

Nice pictures Glenn.

 

[Thorlifter]

Very nice. Just in the pics you posted I saw several others I'd like to see, like the V-1 and the P-47.

Nice Glenn. Museum lighting is always tough to shoot in.

Nice Glenn. Museum lighting is always tough to shoot in.

The second museum building was better lit and those pictures are better. I just wish I had thought to take my tripod along!

Very nice. Just in the pics you posted I saw several others I'd like to see, like the V-1 and the P-47.

In answer to your request

V-1 and P-47

Great looking Dauntless!!

Fantastic set of pics Glenn. That looks a brilliant museum....love the murals on the walls behind the A/C (keep dropping hints to SWMBO that I'd like a full size '51 painted on one of the living room walls....but the look I get back hints that this might not be a good idea !).

Keep 'em coming.

I had a similar thing happen at the time when my Jug cockpit was just going to be a panel and I wanted to mount it on a wall in the house somewhere. The idea didn't go over too well.

Next up:
MiG-15

Beautiful pics!

Thanks T Bolt, that looks like a fantastic museum. This is the museum with the solid-nose B-25 J painted up as a falcon from the 498th BS, right? If so, did you get any shots of that? Would love to see them!

Thanks for the pics T-bolt, especially for the Jug and Dauntless!
