National Museum of Naval Aviation in Pensacola FL, USA

[Jens H]

Nach zwei tagen NAS Pensacola war nun das Museum of Naval Aviation auf der Base dran.

Man kann direkt auf die Base fahren zum Museum, Cemetery oder zum Lighthouse. Einfach am Maingate halten dort gibt es Anweisungen und einen Papierausweis fürs Kfz.

 

Im Museum gibt es von 1900 bis zum Modernen Jet alles zu sehen.

Es werden über 150 restaurierte Navy, Marine Corps und Coast Guard Flugzeuge gezeigt.

 

Die Infos zu den Fotos stammen zum teil aus dem Buch zum "National Museum of Naval Aviation" sowie von div. Websites.

Ich habe mir nicht die mühe gemacht alles zu übersetzten.

Bei Unklarheiten oder Rechtsschreibfehlern einfach eine PN an mich.

 

Viel spaß beim anschauen... auf Wunsch gibt es mehr.
