I was here for a talk by Reno air race winners.

P-51D Wee Willy II.


B-25 Photo Fanny.


I love nose art.


P-51D.


DR-1 replica.


P-51D Bum steer.


Some kind of staff car, I guess.


Wooden mock-up of a Ba-348 Natter, a vertically-launched manned rocket. The pilot would parachute out before the explosion.


Diorama of Admiral Yamamoto's demise. The Allies cracked the Japanese code and knew where the commander of the Japanese fleet would be, and shot down his plane.


L-19A Bird Dog observation plane.


Boeing N2S-2 Kaydet trainer.


N9MB flying wing is a 1/3-scale version of Jack Northrup's design. It has flown the last few years after renovation.






Boeing P-12E was used 1929-32.


Boeing P-26 Pea shooter, so named for the tube like device in front of the cockpit. In use as late as 1941, the fixed landing gear, wire bracing and open cockpit were long out of date.


P-40 Warhawk was famously flown by the American Volunteer Group (AVG) in the China-Burma-India theater of operations.

great shots Kyle, the B52 looks like it is ready to fly. We have visited their museum near Williams AZ, not as large as this one but worth a visit.

Hi, Bob. I'm guessing this thread is displaying correctly for you (only partial images for me. It will probably clear up, though. Nope, I had to repost

I've been to POF Valle a few years back. It had some cars next door, too. Plus Bedrock City just down the road.

These are some awesome shots! Very interesting and educational. Love the Diorama of Admiral Yamamoto's demise the most - this one has some great mood! Well done.
