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.
