Grissom AFB Museum in the fog

Sun Jan 17, 2010 9:24 am

Last night I was driving back from work, and fought this wierd fog the whole way. It got really bad right around the Grissom AFB area. SO I thought I'd pull into the museum and see what it looked like. The pics aren't great as I only had my point and shoot with me, but here is what I found. Still kind of neat I thought. Kind of odd being there with these combat aircraft that have such awesome stories, and in the dark fog alone.

Very interesting photos Chris. We had freezing fog here during the night and everything is covered in a thin layer of ice. Kind of neat looking.

Whoa...Chris those are just spectacular! Ain't it something how those girls always appear to draw ya in each time ya drive by? I spent some magical moments sitting up there by the parking lot after hours, listening to the gentle breezes blowing through the aircraft and if ya listen hard enough it appears that the girls will sing to ya.

When I was stationed there at Grissom in 1985 was my first intoxicating moments spent with those girls. I have been hooked ever since :rolleyes:

Would you mind if I cut and paste those into my picture file? Those may be creepy to some, but are so romantic to me :wink:

Nice shots, very moody. Like they are waiting for the sun and clear sky to awaken.

Outstanding shots of the B-17, C-47 and Mitchell together. The shot of the Voodoo is great as well but somebody put a big, ugly Phantom in the way! :D

Blasphemy! An F-4 is just a VooDoo all growed up!

I'll bet you hate on P-47s too! :P

I'm glad you guys like them. You guys are free to use them as you wish. I felt like I was in the beginning of 12 oclock high. The wind was blowing through the area, it was dead silent, and I was the only one there. Very wild.

That are great mood photos Chris. An etheral, almost spookie quality. They are all good, but I think the one of the Thud really speeks to a bygone era. They would really compliment the right web page.
