Jeepers, what an amazing place!

What's the collection of F-8 noses doing parked under the 'Truculant Turtle' though? Do they need four of them?

Wow ! What an awesome collection ! Looks very well lit too, great for photography eh ?

Looks like only one f-8 nose, the other is a Phantom section, and the other two are the real planes !

That Tiger cockpit section sitting like that almost looks like a Blue Angels Buccaneer !

Thanks for sharing all these.

Yes, OK, but why have a cockpit right next to the whole aircraft, and do it twice? And it looks like they have another Phantom cockpiy elsewhere in the museum too. Or maybe they're one's you can sit in?

I was amazed to see a Coronado too, I didn't know there were any left anywhere!

I'm guessing it's for climbing into as well. Lots of cool stuff in this museum....makes me want to go to Florida !

Reminds me of the Museum of Flight in Seattle and the Evergreen Museum in McMinville. I've got to do a trip down the east coast sometime soon I think.

I loved that museum but has been probably 10 years since I got to go.

Definitely on the list of places to go back to.

Noice.

Pity the F3F-2 is still painted grey instead of the correct aluminum lacquer.
