Pictures of the Learjet 45 & other aircraft

Hi Guys,

I've added 3 pictures so far of the new Learjet 45 to the picture gallery, click here to see them:

Learjet 45 pictures

I've skipped them to the head of the queue, I've lots of pictures waiting to go online, including pictures from Shannon Airport (Antonov An-225, world's largest aircraft) and the USS Intrepid in New York (F-4, F-14, F-16, Blackbird, Concorde).  

I be adding the lot over the next few days and weeks so keep an eye on the website.


Regards,

Frank.

Hi Clan,

I was on the Intrepid and the Growler but the Edison seemed to have been moved to make way for Concorde.

I was there on the 18th December 2003, having celebrated the 100th Anniversary of Powered Flight the previous day on Aer Lingus A330-301 EI-ORD flying to New York JFK.

Impressive museum, although some of the exhibits were very weather beaten with some of the markings worn away but all in all it is a must see museum.


Regards,

Frank.

While we are on the subject of museums can I strongly recommend a museum in London for a visit?  It is the Royal Air Force Museum in Hendon - a must visit for all with an interest in military aviation!!  Check it out at www.rafmuseum.org .

if you want to see the best muesum in the world you need to go to the edwards afb muesum. the worlds most odd a/c are there, like the parasite fighter, wing coupling fighters and so on, it just a great place to roam around in.
you're not lost until you're lost at mach 3

Hi Frank the planes on the deck were indeed weather beaten but it is still some piece of kit to have a look at. RAF Hendon is also excellent where you can get lost for hours. Now where is our museum. I must go check it out.
