I made my way over to Red Bull Hangar 7, Salzburg, Austria in July. One word to describe this place: spotless! They said the P-38 was in the maintenance hangar which we weren't allowed to visit. Boooo!!! :x It was still a neat place to visit. They were flying their Cobra when we arrived.

Hey cool, thanks for posting :D
If you were there in early July then that's when about half of our shop went over to do the annual inspection and brief the guys there on maintenance for the 38. To bad you didn't get to see her.

Yes, it's a great collection
I saw the B-25, P-38 and Corsair in Sanicole meeting in Belgium in September. A very professional crew

I dunno, I don't seem to mind the marketing logos Red Bull has put on there aircraft. They seem almost appropriate being a stylized design that sort of fits the aircraft. And there not ones for restoring an aircraft back to stock configuration. The P-38 and B-25 are evident of that, but they look amazing the way they are. I think this museum is a special museum among the few in the world. Certainly one of the most appealing with that amazing architecture and interesting choice of aircraft. Its hard to guess what aircraft they might want to acquire next.

That hangar floor is almost as clean as the one at Bald Eagle Aviation. :D

That corsair must have no oil in it at all

Not a drip tray in sight!!
