A friend and I took a trip up tho the museum on Sat. Out tour guide was a former B-26 pilot that flew 65 missions. He had some great stories, and the museum looked great. The MAPS people are doing a great job.

I thought I recognized you Saturday! On top of being busy and doing tours, I was really sick and really out of it and couldn't quite place you. 
Sorry!
Maybe next time your up around MAPS you can let me know so I won't look stupid!

Looks pretty hacked up.

We've joked about using it for fire practice for the Line Crew!

Did your tourguide take you into the new museum room in the hanger? If so, what did you think?

That was funny Phantom, as I thought that I saw you as well, but didn't want to look like an idiot and say something. I plan on going back out soon. It is only like 2 hours form my house tp MAPS, so I might become a volunteer. My tour guide was great. He did take us to the new room. You guys at MAPS have done an amazing job with the whole facility and collection. I worked on the B-26 when it was at Air Heritage years ago. I was 13 then! It looks great. I will post some more pics of my trip.

Here are some pics of the some of the aircraft at the museum, and the crew that brought the F-14 in. She is one great looking RIO. The O-2 looks great as always and is a real time capsule.
