Air Zoo pics

Recommended Posts

On Feb 16, I finally got my crap together and took a three-hour trip to the Air Zoo. Here are some of my favorite shots I thought I'd share. If the shots are crap, you can attribute it to either my unsteady grasp, or my hardware, a 2 mpx camera phone. You also have the dubious merit of a caption on every picture.

 

First, here's the F-14A Tomcat of VF-84 "Jolly Rogers", serial No. 160395 (to the best of my knowledge, the picture I took of the serial is all fuzzy):

The immortal P-40:

The best fighter ever built, the SPAD XIII:

The Wright Flyer:

This one's for you, Major Lee:

F/A-18 Hornet:

During the month of February, one can sit in the pit of a designated plane. Here's me in the F-14; it was hands down the best 90 seconds of my life:

If you wish, you can view the whole album HERE.

"Do not TOUCH switches or levers."

 

Always good advice.

just don't pull that black and yellow striped one.

 

I'd give ANYTHING to see an F-14, let alone sit in one. Nice P-40, too!

Only 90 seconds? I spent 10 minutes in the pilots seat of an F-4D at Write-Pat
