Thanks for the tip regarding the B-25. I'll look into it.

As for the Special Ops Musuem and the Pope AFB Air Park, I didn't find anything on the web that explicitly tied the two together, but I did find different sources that gave similar inventories of their collections. For example both have a C-47, C-123 and C-119. Since it is unusual to find C-123s and C-119s (relatively small numbers), and since both museums are in Fayetteville, I got the idea that maybe the sources I have are refering to the same collection, just under different names.

As for the security, you are right that I should be very careful. Anyone walking around with a camera will likely be treated as suspcious.

Again, thanks for the info.

Regards,

Mike
