And finally the Boeing VC137 (modified 707), one that I’m pretty sure I could jump in and fly as very similar to early 737 I flew, apart from number of engines

Many more I didn’t show you , could have easily spent a whole day there .
Sorry if some of the pics were blurred but I whizzed around in a couple of hours .
Some amazing planes there. Have you warned Mike O he will need to go for a lie down after reading your post?
Which one would you most like to fly?

I know very little about planes but the Mach 3 Valkyrie does look exceptional
Only two were ever built and the one I saw is the only one in the world
Designed in the 50s FFS. Just look at it !
Great pics of some iconic machinery, thanks for posting.
The Valkyrie reminds me of the Concorde captain saying that nothing could catch him, and the Lightning pilot showing him the error of his ways.
It’s on YouTube. I’ll try to find it. This isn’t the one I saw originally but it’s worth a watch.

Brilliant museum, I’d be in for hours. I always enjoy seeing how cockpit design has evolved over the years, from random gauges squeezed in pretty much anywhere to logical, standardised layouts.
Haha . Any freight dawgs propping up the bar ?
Great pics 
I wonder where Enola Gay is?
