Great pics.
BTW, that Sikorsky H5H was once part of the New England Air Museum's collection. We made a three party swap with the Air Force for owner ship of the Kaman Huskie, so we could sell it to Kaman for prototype work on the K-MAX Helicopter Project. The Air Force gave the H5H to Korea. (BTW, It's a rare letter carrying version)

When Kaman no longer needed the Huskie, it was given back to NEAM for about $10.

No. 33 is a Hiller H-23, and No. 34 is a Cessna L-19/O-1 :wink:

Looks like they have a great crew that keeps the a/c and grounds in very beautiful condition.Also it looks like they have just about every a/c from the 50's on.

Thanks Bob and everyone, I have seen about 400 planes and tanks in the last month, sometimes the brain just goes dead....

My wife looked over my shoulder as I was viewing the crisp photographs (well done armyjunk2!) and said " The azaleas are delightful"! (and they are!)

Nice pictures of nice aircraft, thanks.

Don't know what it is, but that F-15 looks a little odd.

....Forgot to add, nice set of pics! :oops:

And it's interesting that many of the aircraft have provisions for people to enter and look around inside. Don't see much of that here (and for good reason, I presume)... :wink:
