About Frederick Boucher (JPTRR)
FROM: TENNESSEE, UNITED STATES

I'm a professional pilot with a degree in art. My first model was an AMT semi dump truck. Then Monogram's Lunar Lander right after the lunar landing. Next, Revell's 1/32 Bf-109G...cried havoc and released the dogs of modeling! My interests--if built before 1900, or after 1955, then I proba...

Jessica, Thanks for Part I. I'm working on more goodies for part II, III, +... A word about why there are so many apparent duplicate photos. Unfortunately, I could not talk NMAF into clearing the facility of other visitors and giving me the run of the place. So I duplicated shots with different exposures, lighting, settings, etc., so that you, the viewer, can see a subject with flash, without flash, etc. You will notice the colors shift some, shadows are minimized, etc. Enjoy!

Fred, thanks for showing us around this big museum. I havn't been there yet, but it sure is on my list one day. As I have a favour for Japanese aircraft, I especially enjoy the Zero and the Shiden photos. Can't wait to see Pt. 2. Torsten
