NMUSAF Vietnam

Post by iainpeden »

The Vietnam section is the one which interested me most; Century series jets, big transports, camouflage and so on.
Unfortunately I found this area the hardest to photograph as the a/c are general larger than the WW2 stuff and closely packed together so please take these as record shots. I’d also seen the transports at Dover so didn’t take the ones inside at Dayton. The C-141 is in the Presidential gallery, but it’s the famous “Hanoi Taxi” – the first one in to take the PoWs home.

But just to whet the appetites here’s a list of the lower level a/c (some are up on stands).
B-52, F-105G, F-105D, F-4C (Robin Olds’ Scat), F-100F, RF-101, F-111A, B-26K, C-121, A-7D, RB-66, OV-10A, HH-3E, CH-3E, C-123K, C-7A, A-1E, YA-37A, Mig-21, Mig-17

(For some reason I didn’t take pictures of the various Migs around the museum – but there was a lot of information about the secret programs (I’ll use the American spelling) they were used for. I’ll just have to go back!)
