Super nice set of photos! thanks. What a nice collection they have. We were there quite a few years ago. They have a much larger collection now. I wonder if they would have any interest in the so far unclaimed aircraft @ the Chanute Air Museum? Love the interior shots of the Starlifter!

A kid's pedal plane.
You can buy plans/kits for T-6s, Stearmans and Christen Eagles.
You see them at many museums or EAA chapters.

I'm impressed, a C-141A. IIRC, only a2-3 weren't converted to the ugly "B"s...I'm glad one was saved.
Is this the one AFSC used as a test bed with w weird back-end?
BTW: Does NASA still have their civil demonstrator "A"?

Thanks for posting. Gotta get back there as the C-5 is now in the orginal as delivered A scheme. Best C-5 scheme by far in my view.

Wiki appears correct with 3 C-141 A models surviving. They did look a little better with the shorter fuselage and no refueling hump.

I love those pedal cars and I've seen them at several locations. Wings over the Rockies had a squadron of them...

Great photos. All the aircraft appear to be kept in excellent condition, especially considering so many must sit outside.

The C-130E is a former all weather aerial delivery system (AWADS) bird as evidenced by the compressed engine gauges and missing scope where the APQ-175 radar would have been.

Thanks for sharing!
