Hello everyone!

I just got back home from my trip to Wright Patterson Air Force Base, let me tell you WOW!!! I had a blast! So many planes, so little time. All together I took 481 pictures. So here are a few:

Here is some history! No need to say waht this is.



Gorgeous!



My god I took a lot of pictures of this plane!



Another plane I've always wanted to see



Me in a cockpit of a F-4. That rumor of pilots being short, I believe it. I'm 6'2" and there is no way the canopy would have closed!



I took so many pictures, it was unbelievable. About a 100 of them were just landing gears. If there is a specific plane you need a pic of, I might have it. Just contact me.

thanks
-Jay-

Hi Jay.
Great pics! Thanks for sharing them.
I noticed the P47 behind the Me262.I wouldnt mind seeing a pic of that if you have one amongst the 481 photos
Its good that they let you sit in the F4 cockpit.Are there any more exhibits you are allowed to "play with"?

Here are a few more pictures:

Sorry though, about the only plane I didn't take any pics of was the P-47. Thats a model I don't have.

Thanks
