Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Holy cow. That's really cool!
I have to ask: are they in flyable condition?

The F-14 with the stars and stripes in the background looks great.

I assume you were being sarcastic with the Tomcat :D . Doesn't look that factory fresh to me. Still great to see it.

Well almost all the planes looks new...except the Tomcat indeed :-)
And yes you have to pay 20 u$ entry... but these dollars are spent very good on restorations in my opinion.

To be honest, I like the appearance of the Tomcat more than the others. Don't like shiny and polished all over.. But great museum!
