Anyway, Mysefl and my three boys, Brother in law and nephew and Dad took a trip the the base:

Believe it or not that was restored at one time. They don't have an indoor place to store them through the winters so their they all sit. Everything they do is by donation and volunteer's. Anyone rich enough to put up some pole sheds for them???

If you ever get out East and are travelling on Interstate 95 stop in at the Aberdeen Proving Ground Ordnance Museum. Quite a collection of tanks and self-propelled munition, plus a collection of hand-held weapons inside. There is a slow but ongoing effort to weatherproof the equipment kept outside.

That would be a good project for some VFW folks. A few pressure treated poles, some pressure treated 2X4s and some tin roofing and they're all set. No use restoring them if you can't keep the weather off them.

Nice collection of aircraft they have there. The A-12 is cool of course but the F-102 is really cool. The armor collection is great too. Sorry to see that they are forced to keep everything outside though.
