National Naval Aviation Museum,Pensacola Fla. Part one, Flightline Ramp
Checked off an item from my bucket list, last weekend. Limited photos of the outside ramp, Jaime Carreon covered the other areas recently. One note, the C-130 is supposed to be the one that flew onto and of the Forrestal in the early sixties. Pic7 is the infamous Curtis Helldiver.
Nice pics...thanks for sharin' 'em. But I've been there (albeit some years back) and I don't recall seeing that statue
in the first photo. They new?Must be.
Great photos Robert, some interesting aircraft you don't often see.Loved the Vigilante. What was the collection of parts for, seemed like a large floatplane?
Thanks Rob
That's a SBC2 Helldiver, if it wasn't slow enough, they thought about hanging floats on it.
what an awesome collection. Much bigger and better since my last visit back in the 80's. Thanx for sharing these great shots.
Hello Robert,
Thanks for sharing your visit with us. Is for a long time on my bucket list.
Regards, Dirk / The Netherlands.
