At the National Museum of Nuclear Science & Industry in Abuquerque (formerly the National Aromic Museum). This B52 was used to drop several megaton-yield weapons in the south Pacific.

Great job. I guess this is the show you mentioned in another post.

P7350, apparently the oldest airworthy and only flying example of a spitfire that actually flew in the Battle of Britain.

It is part of the Battle of Britain memorial flight and the RAF says it is the oldest airworthy Spitfire in the world and the only one to have fought in the Battle of Britain - I guess the Royal Airforce knows its planes 😉

Yes, it was being flown by the BBMF at the time (it had stopped over at my local airfield, a former RAF station). The following photo shows it about to take off as part of a formation of six (P7350, two other spitfires and three hurricanes).🙂

I recently became a guide at the War Eagles Museum in Santa Theresa, NM (think El Paso). It has a great collection of WW2 and Korea aircraft as well as some classic cars. It also has one of the T28 aircraft I flew at Pensacola back in 1977 at Navy flight school.

Not many people know it is there but if you like warbirds and other classic aircraft, stop in next time you are passing through El Paso on I10.

not sure if the plane is "vintage" or not but i tried to make it at least feel old

Not shot outside in sunny weather unfortunately, but in a Scottish WWII era hangar on a cloudy day. It is a Bristol Bolongbroke, a Canadian built version of the Blenheim light bomber. Quite a few were built later in the war as trainers, this is one of them. Shot on expired Kodak VR 400 film, Nikon FM, Cosina Voigtlander SLII 28mm f2.8.
