My birthday present to me! 10 Days on the east coast USA - Udvar-Hazy, AMC Museum at Dover, Pax River and Dayton.
All for less than a Spitfire flight would have cost me.
An immense museum that is not the easiest to take photos in (to say the least). Recently some of the galleries have been upgraded to include incandescent and LED lighting which tend to give ultra-bright spots to confuse the camera, at times my phone was coping better than my DSLR.
I thought I’d start with some unique a/c – reading the (excellent) placards one can only wonder at the bravery of the test pilots and the vision of the engineers in the 50s and 60s.

That’s it for now. If anybody can PM me how to multiple drops of the BB code I’d be grateful as doing 500+ individually will be irritating.
To come (don’t rush me)
