Visited today this museum.
Of note, of course the show stealer was the P-51D Worry Bird (44-73287).
B-25 "Axis Nightmare" was there too, without any visible identification or registration, undergoing maintenance.
Of note, a couple of Ryan PT-22s, one under restoration (no data plate visible) while the other is N-47306.
A pristine Beech T-34A (s/n G-761) formerly with the "AURI" (Angkatan Udara Republik Indonesia), a SOKO G-2A Galeb, and outside, a couple of airplanes looking in bad shape: Cessna O-2A N-256Z (67-21334) the 30th O2-A off the assembly lines, and a Beech C-45 (NC-64463, 43-4534).
Anyone knows more about the Ryan PT-22 under restoration?
Photography was not possible (although I shot some video) because I keep forgetting to buy a wide angle lens for my camera (old age, I suppose, has a lot to do with it).
Saludos!
