Have you ever been in the Spruce Goose, the plane Howard Hughes built? You can do that in the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum in McMinnville, Oregon. You can easily do one or two days there.

Scottish Aviation (Handley Page) Jetstream T.1 This aircraft is one I know well ! I used to walk past it, most mornings, on my way to/from my office at RAF Finningley, South Yorkshire. Finningley is now a (temporarily closed) civil airport on the outskirts of Doncaster. The Jetstream used to be on the strength of No 6 FTS, RAF, but is now on display at Newark Air Museum, Nottinghamshire. Although built by Scottish Aviation, the aircraft was designed by Handley Page #aircraft #Newark #SouthYorkshire RAFFinningley #RAF #airport #Nottinghamshire #Yorkshire #UK #avition #ScottishAviation #6FTS #Doncaster #museum #aviationmuseum #HandleyPage #NewarkAirMuseum #avgeek #aviationphotography #photography#aviationlovers

Was at the Museum of Flight last week. It is a wonderful museum and if you have not been there carve some time out of your Seattle trip to go there.

I had forgotten how absolutely huge the Saturn F1 engine is. Also Blackbird(s)! Their one of a kind remaining M-21 Blackbird is amazing to see as you can get under it and very close to it unlike many museums.

Panavia Tornado F.3 The Tornado GR.1 was originally produced by the European multi-national Panavia concern as a 'strike' aircraft. However, the Royal Air Force also needed an air defence fighter, capable of defending U.K. airspace. Redesign, including a lengthened fuselage, new radar, air-to-air missiles, and engines re-worked for higher altitude operations, gave rise to the Tornado F.2. Sadly, the new radar wasn't ready in time for this aircraft, which meant that early examples flew with a concrete block in the nose to restore balance! The final version, the F.3 (as shown here at the North East Land, Sea and Air Museum - NELSAM - in Sunderland) proved itself a capable long-range interceptor. #NELSAM #NorthEastLandAirandSeaMuseum #museum #aircraft #Panavia #multinational #NATO #RAF #RoyalAirForce #fighter #interceptor #missile #engines #UK #airspace #radar #Tornado #TornadoF2 #concrete #European #aviation #aviationphotography #photography #avgeeks #avgeek #aviationmuseum #exhibit
Welcome to the OLDEST flying #aircraft in the World! This 1911 Blériot XI was manufactured approximately 3 months prior to that held at Old Rheinbeck, New York, USA. This aircraft is part of the Shuttleworth Collection based on the grass airfield at Old Warden, #Bedfordshire, #UK. It is fitted with a three-cylinder 'fan configuration' air-cooled Anzani engine. Due to the significance of this #Blériot XI , its flights are strictly limited to straight 'hops' down the length of the grass #runway at Old Warden, during certain public events. #history #aviation #photography #OldWarden #aviationmuseum #oldestaircraft #ShuttleworthCollection #grassairfeld #museum #BlériotXI #Anzani #aircooled #avgeek #technology #flight #aviationphotography #Mastodonaviation #Mastodonphotography
