Here's a few people
pics from our trip out to the Combat Air Museum during the 2006 US Nationals in
Kansas City. This Museum is located in Topeka Kansas an hour or so from
Kansas City. Although this is a small museum, it was full of a good
variety of aircraft and we were lucky to get a full tour from JC Bahr, who was a
volunteer of this museum.
One funny moment was
our chance to get a "hero shot" in an A-4 cockpit they had on
display. This cockpit was shockingly small and there was no way I could
fit in there very well and it seemed to be more designed for someone about the
size of Anthony.
Special thanks to JC
Bahr for the very in-depth tour and Don McKay for the great pics. The temp
outside was 93F and one of the planes outside....a radar equipped Connie was
probably 110-115F inside......Anthony and I didn't last in that aircraft for
long before we rushed outside to the much cooler 93F temps on the tarmac.
