A Day of Fun at Fantasy of Flight

[dbrown]

Still one of the best museums around. Mr. Weeks spent quite a bit of time anserwing questions after he took the P-51C up for a spin. What a beauty of an airplane.

If your in Orlando and want a very nice diversion from standing in lines at the Mouse House - go about 30 minutes SW on I-4 to Polk.

Cheers!

Whats the story with the B-26 Marauder? Is it going to be made flyable, repainted, etc.? Just curious........

[Obergrafeter]

The cockpit shot is a what?

[slinky]

Is the cockpit shot Kermit's PE-2? Whoops, just looked.... TU-2!

[DIK SHEPHERD]

The B-26 is already flyable.

The B-26 is already flyable.

I was under the impression that it currently is not flyable.......

[DIK SHEPHERD]

Unless they blew an engine or it's out of license, it's been flyable for years. If it's out of license it's still flyable with a permit. If it's a maintenance problem, then it's just a matter of fixing it. However, if you're talking about airworthiness, that's something else.

Thanks! I have more if anyone is interested. I was happy to be able to take close-ups of the interior of the TU-2.

Now to find a kit of that one!

I just love that place. Everyones so nice and if its not busy sometimes they let you do stuff you normally couldnt do at a mueseam. Not that I would know.

Great pictures! I really like the pic's of the B-25 and B-26 from above. The Spirit of St. Louis looks pretty good - one of the few Spirit replica's that has cowling's that look like the original (even with the wrong engine - I hear they are looking to replace that engine with a Wright J5 Whirlwind).

[dbrown]

Perhaps replace with this engine? It was sitting next to the Spirit replica. Not sure if this is a real or replica engine.
