  1. Here's the exterior view of the Combat Air Museum in Topeka, Kansas.

    The museum is located at Forbes Field, Topeka's regional airport.

    The museum aircraft are housed in two hangars, with additional rockets and artillery outside.

  2. Recently, we visited the Combat Air Museum in Topeka, Kansas.

    The museum was one of our family's highlights during the trip.

    I wrote about the experience in my latest published post. You can find the link in our bio.

    Here's a look at one of the galleries at the Combat Air Museum. I'll talk more about the museum and share more throughout this week.

  15. English Electric Lightning T.5 The Lightning was developed from the P.1 research aircraft, and was a fast-climbing Mach 2 interceptor which saw service with both the Royal Air Force and the Royal Saudi Air Force. The power of two reheated Rolls-Royce Avon engines was enough to enable the aircraft to climb at over 20,000 ft/min! This trainer version is unusual for a fighter aircraft in that it had side by side seating (during this era the RAF's trainers all had this feature). The biggest failing of the aircraft was that initial versions had such a small fuel load that it was practically a 'point defence interceptor'. This example is seen at the Newark Air Museum, Nottinghamshire #RAF #RoyalAirForce #EnglishElectric #fighter #interceptor #RoyalSaudiAirForce #Newark #airmuseum #museum #avgeek #aviationlovers #Mach2 #fuelload #Lightning #RollsRoyce #RollsRoyceAvon #reheat

  22. Douglas Skyraider I photographed at Planes of Fame in Valle, AZ. What impresses me most about these aircraft is their size. No, I don't know what's inside the aft compartment. The door wasn't secured and I was tempted to open it and take a peek, but at the time I was a docent at another air museum and didn't want to be like some of the visitors we got there. #EagleBot #MilAir #AirMuseum #SierraHotel

  28. Day out to #MontroseAirStationHeritageCentre today 😃 We saw the #Spitfire, rang the bell and found a nice #dog bed in the Station Commanders Office! There's an #AnimalsAtWar exhibit about various animal heroes from Vic a real #WarHorse to Bamse to Winkie the passenger pigeon! We headed along to the new exhibit with the #HawkerHunter and the #Tornado. Fantastic to see it out on display 😃
