NEAM Update April 2014

[Jerry O'Neill]

I was up at NEAM today and thought you might like some photos from the storage area.

F-4 being prepped for a return to its 1972 Vietnam era camo. MiG-21 Kill on December 22, 1972. here's the story: http://www.oocities.org/tlj825/66.htm



F-4 Radome getting some attention.


F-4 getting ready for paint prep.


Mig-15 ready for final markings.


Dog Daize in storage, waiting for display.


JB-2 Loon and Dog Daize.


F-89 being moved so the wings can be removed from the Burnell CBY-3.


Cool S-61/Skycrane model in restoration hanger. Not sure of the history.


We moved the Lockheed 10 from the display building to storage so that the DC-3 can be removed and brought to the restoration hanger for re-painting! This Lockheed is two numbers away from Ameilia's aircraft and it is absolutely beautiful!!!


My favorite artifact on display at the museum: the Bar from the 65th Fighter Squadron! On loan from NASM. It's part of a German aircraft wing.

I went by the museum on Friday during an all too short visit to my Connecticut family. When there I only had access to the public areas -- your photos are exactly what I'd have preferred to see. Thanks for posting!
