Platinum Contributing Member Jimmy Snacks Posted July 20, 2018 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted July 20, 2018 I know it sounds stupid but watching Top Gun in the theater when I was 18 was badass. Fighter Jets and Military Aviation in generalist very cool...WW2 fighters in particular....Hurricanes, Spitfires, P51's, Corsairs, P38's..etc....

Snake Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 F-86A 49-1067 Also displayed next to a MiG-15 is the National Museum of the USAF‘s F-86A 49-1067, marked as a different aircraft 49-1236. The real 49-1236 served with the 334th Fighter Squadron, 4th Fighter Wing, and was shot down by a MiG-15 over Korea on October 24, 1951, the pilot Bradley Irish being taken prisoner until 1953. That would be my uncle. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmo Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 2 years in a Korean prison camp? He must have been a bad dude. My grandpa spent almost 2 years in a nazi prison camp and barely made it out of there alive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been there in more than 40 yrs and I'm sure it's changed a lot. I mentioned it to my dad recently, because he always attends the Dayton hamfest and he was the last person I went with. I'm going to see if I can't get my 2 boys to go with him and me and make it a multi generational trip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 4th hanger just opened and they moved all the presidential planes and the Valkyrie over from the base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a bad idea to put that plane outside and it is so rare as it is the only one of it's type. they also had the YF23 black widow with the pratt engines over there as well as the D21 drone (very rare) and the Verti Jet. They also have a B2 Spirt on display which I am pretty sure is the only way to get anywhere near one of those. I have been all over the country and I have Yet to see a collection of planes any where near as good as Dayton. Plus you can go down the road and see the two best bicycle mechanics to ever live. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos Danger Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 This is one of my favorites. I worked with a guy who was a crew chief in the same squadron when it happened. I also worked with the crew chief for the Hanoi Taxi when it was flown into Dayton and turned over to the museum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
