Welcome to FR Budgie! Thanks for posting these great pictures.
Looks like my bedroom ceiling when I was a kid, (at least the prop planes) :)
Great pics.

Neat! Thanks.
Ping (love that shot of Habu).
The picture of the suspended F-100 resurrected an old memory from a deployment to Tyndall AFB in Florida with our F-4c's. Some of our old F-100s had been converted to drones. As one of them taxied out some of the older crew chiefs stopped what they were doing and just stared. Some of the pilots who had flown that bird were still with us and you can imagine what they were thinking when they lined up on it.
Thanks. It was good to see the B-24 like my dad flew out of England in WWII (the Lucky Lady Bett). Love this stuff!
ping to aircraft photos.
Great photos, welcome and great name for an aviation buff...;-)
Bigger and better than when I was at Duxford in '86. It also had a nice collection of heavy tanks at that time. The active airstrip was a nice surprise to me at the time. I remember that a P-40 and a Spit came in while I was taking my lunch.
Great pics. Thanks.
Great photos. Reminds me of the Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola, FL. Beautiful place. I heard it got hit pretty hard during Hurrican Ivan. Hope they didn't lose too many aircraft.
Looks to be a great collection of aircraft.
The USAF museum in Dayton Ohio is a treasure also and well worth a visit. Please drop some cash in the box there for gifts as it is not taxpayer funded.
Thanks very much for the pictures. I visited Duxfore twice in 1992, and they didn't have all of those aircraft then, such as the SR-71.
I know they keep as many of the aircraft in flight condition as possible, but I doubt even the Imperial War Museum has the funds to keep an SR-71 or a B-52 flyable.
Great Pictures! If anyone has an interest in the SR-71 or Stealth fighter, I highly recommend "Skunk Works" by Ben Rich (just finished reading it). Rich worked at Skunk Works for most of his career and was in charge of it for over 20 years. It is an amazing read. I never realized how "old" the stealth fighter & SR-71 really are and that stealth technology actually came from a Russian scientist!
