+ST0RM 145 Posted October 13, 2008 I've been there a few times. Enjoyed it all. They have an great collection of aircraft. Do they still have the F-4C painted in Blue Angel colors or is that it in your last pic, repainted in the Michigan ANG scheme? Storm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FastCargo 412 Posted October 13, 2008 Man, that's impressive...a 747 on a stick! That's some work to do that! It's funny to see the Buran with the 'clip on' atmospheric engines. I always wondered if that ever actually worked (the idea was that the Buran could 'transport itself' instead of being loaded piggyback on the An-225)...the L/D ratio of the Shuttle (and I assume the Buran) wasn't exactly that great and those engines looked kind of small...

Badfrank 5 Posted October 13, 2008 @ STORM: The Blue Angels F-4 is still there. It is really a F-4C? How bad is that? Link to the Museum (Website in German and English) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Soulfreak 6,485 Posted October 21, 2008 (edited) i don´t like the museum in Speyer, cause there are some aircrafts painted wrong... for example there is a MiG-23 painted in colors that were used on a MiG-21SPS (the white shark) 1st the one in the museum in speyer, 2nd the real one...

MaverickMike 10 Posted October 21, 2008 Hi all I went to an awesome museum in Germany around 6 years ago but i can't remember the name. (Somewhere between frankfurt and munich LOL) Anyway it had all sorts of aircraft including the concord and the tu144l on display. It was definetely the best museum i had ever seen unfortunately i dont have the pics on digital format. These are really cool pics, love the space shuttle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Been there about 10 years ago, I guess it has changed a lot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Gocad 26 Posted October 21, 2008 i don´t like the museum in Speyer, cause there are some aircrafts painted wrong... I would say that there quite a few aviation museums around that paint their aircraft 'wrong', but I do think that this happens mainly for two reasons: a) available resources and b) the desire to attract and impress their visitors.

FastCargo I read somewhere that the intent was just to give them some additional control during the landing phase. It didn't carry enough fuel for anything else.
