1:1 Scale item for Airplane lovers.
« on: May 20, 2011, 08:33:15 AM »

A good airplane buddy sent me this:

"This might be one of the most advanced sights I have ever seen.  If this is a sign of the future, Wow!
               

Click on the MAP in the upper right hand corner to bring down a visual menu of the different sites within the museum, then click on a dot within that site to view the exhibits from that camera angle and then follow (click on) the arrows.
               
It doesn't get much better than this!"

Doing this right will take some time.

Amazing what people are doing with computor technology.  Almost like being there.  Also click on the plane you are looking at and get another screen with details of it.  Thanks, H^^

Great link.  I have been to the Museum on numerous occasions and it is VERY easy to spend 1 day in each hangar, and that was in the 80's.
Thanks Hoss.

Wow, things have changed ALOT since I was last there over 20 yrs ago. Glad to see they got some of the more rare birds under cover. The full scale dioramas are nice too.

If you do a little bit every day it will get done, or you can do it tomorrow.

You should have seen it back in 76 when the NATS was there.   So much has changed I couldn't even remember where the dorms were we stayed in.

I was last there circa 1978.  Wow, has it changed.  I'm planning to go there after the Nats this year since it's only about 90 miles away.  I think it may take a couple of days to even skim the surface.
