The Tidewaters / VA static warbirds. WARNING: Lots of images

[wgrosz]

BTW, I asked for permission to visit the parts hangar, and it was graciously granted by a volunteer who was nearby. I took many pictures there, but will not publish them until I find out if the owner would be amenable. I well understand it, if they keep this place out of bounds for the visitors. This museum is nice, and it is growing, There were a minimum of Five hangars under construction, during my visit last month, and I was told that two of them are being built using WW-I era plans. I was also told that the owner of the place, Mr. Yeagen, is consolidating his collection that has been spread all over the Tidewaters area, to this neat location.

No by all means posting the photos is fine, Mr Yagen from when I have talked to him doesn't seem to mind he just wants the location credited so it helps out the museum. Even I have only seen the inside of that storage hanger once so far, back in September when the La-9 was placed in there . I honestly hope they assemble it soon.

Is this the Skysport replica, built in the 80s which went to Belgium?

I wasn't sure so i googled it and this site http ://www.abpic.co.uk/search.php?q=WA/6&u=cn
has it listed as being the same.

Actually I'm not sure Mr. Yagen would be pleased with having pictures of what's in the parts storage posted on the internet. Aircraft and facilities is all fine but parts warehouse contents is another matter for more than a couple of reasons. Tulio I would ask permission on that one before doing so.

Craig, I have no intention of publishing those images, until the time when the owner of the hangar / parts, says it is OK to do so.

Saludos,
