NAS Wildwood Museum visit.

[TAdan]

This past Friday I visited the NAS Wildwood Museum in Cape May, NJ.

Very nice museum. Here are a few pics.





A herd of Caribou across the way...





Tomcat!













Here is a lovely Firebomber TBM...



And a lovely Torpedo Bomber TBM...







Can anyone I.D. this wing up in the rafters?

C-54 wing section. Dr. Salvatore offered it to us several times.

We declined, because how often do you need a wing?

Also, the amount of pigeon poo in it has probably reduced it to a very large colander.

He has a nice museum there. He's a class act and a real nice guy.

The Caribou are the property of Pen Turbo, they have been working for a long time on a Turboprop Caribou. They have two finished, but a looking for buyers.

Lots of R-2000-7M2's sitting there.....

Really cool to see an Avenger airtanker preserved that way!

Was there about four years ago. Great place. Don't forget to stop by the personal Vietnam collection museum across the street! Truly moving!

PS. I do hope something happens with those Caribou. Im surprise Buffalo Airways or someone like that wouldn't need these.

I didn't even know the Vietnam museum was there until I turned the corner to the NAS Museum. I did not have enough time to visit but next time I'll have to check it out.

I thought this was a pretty cool display. Recovered wreckage from the area.
