awsome storie.. i was allowed into th enola gay before the center opened.. but when the curator came all hell broke loose.. but after some back and fourth he realized who i was and that i knew how tho handle old birds so it setteled..but i really dont understand why some museums are so perplex about letting people up close..i mean..its warmachines made to handle many G`s and stuff..so they dont get ruiend by anybody giving them some close up shoots.. the flash is not as harmfull as 20mm or 88mm flak..hehe

but that sounded like a great day..i have pics with me and buzz aldrin,and also Bill anders when they visited our museum. a great honour to meet those guys

You must have read my mind Guttorm! I was going to ask you if it was possible to see shots of the inside of the HeIII - any chance of seeing the bomb-bay and rear fuselage interior sometime?

We have both met some very special people. It is an honor to be able to meet people that have made history.

I can see the hands on/hands off debate from both sides. If the plane has a famous UNRESTORED paint job, then it should be hands off. To me that is no debate. If the aircraft has completely new paint then some touching should be allowed.

I have sat in many cockpits of aircraft at the Kalamazoo Aviation Museum. Air Zoo :: The Total Flight Experience :: Kalamazoo, Michigan Those are very special moments for me. I have also been in B-17 Sentimental Journey at Tempe, AZ and the Spanish He-111 they had before it crashed. I so enjoyed being in those two. I could just take my time and just let my mind drift back in time. I wondered what it must have been like to have been in that spot in combat. Knowing me, I would probably need to wear diapers!

I have been in a few others.

I look forward to your bomb bay pictures of your He-111. I have a 1/72 Hasegawa kit to build. I want to build it with the bomb bay doors open. So any and all pictures in that area, inside and out, would be most welcome!

At times like this I so love the internet and forums like this! There ain't anyway I would be able to go to Oslo soon. But with all that is here, well, it is almost the same as being there.

If I ever do travel back to Europe, I will let you know! I look forward to meeting you!

Junkers88A1 · 04-16-2009, 02:41 PM

i also love sites like this on the internet..it erally opens up a lot in the wrold and learn about things one dident knew about ..seeing things one will never see and hearing stories one would never hear
