NAS Wildwood Museum visit.

This past Friday I visited the NAS Wildwood Museum in Cape May, NJ.

Very nice museum. Here are a few pics. :)

C-54 wing section. Dr. Salvatore offered it to us several times.

We declined, because how often do you need a wing?

Also, the amount of pigeon poo in it has probably reduced it to a very large colander.

He has a nice museum there. He's a class act and a real nice guy.

The Caribou are the property of Pen Turbo, they have been working for a long time on a Turboprop Caribou. They have two finished, but a looking for buyers.

Lots of R-2000-7M2's sitting there.....

Was there about four years ago. Great place. Don't forget to stop by the personal Vietnam collection museum across the street! Truly moving!

PS. I do hope something happens with those Caribou. Im surprise Buffalo Airways or someone like that wouldn't need these.

I didn't even know the Vietnam museum was there until I turned the corner to the NAS Museum. I did not have enough time to visit but next time I'll have to check it out.

I thought this was a pretty cool display. Recovered wreckage from the area.
