Thanks for this one. But the Heinkel (He-162 is the right designation) is in the back; Messerschmidt Me-163 is closest to the camera. Flying the Me was a real exercise in courage, by all accounts.

Thank you. I just started working as a docent for the organization that owns this DC-3S.

Biomed, is that Spitfire SL574 at San Diego?
If so, you might find the thread below of interest:

Actually, it probably isn't, because SL574 was a low-back, but I've triped this so I'm posting it!

This is a LF Mk IXe SL633 that belongs to the Historic Flight Foundation in Mukilteo, WA. It flew with a Czech RAF squadron (RAF Squadron 312) during WWII. It served with the Czechoslovakian air force until being sent to the IAF in Israel where it was flown against Egyptian Spitfires. After the IAF it served in Burma. It made a wheels up landing and ended up as a static display with a T-6 tail. It was rescued and restored by Historic Flying Limited at Duxford, UK. Like all of the aircraft in the Historic Flight Foundation's collection it is in the air quite often.

Great pictures. Thanks for posting; I followed up to look at https://www.nmm.nl/
The collection is listed here (I don't know if this is up to date or all on display - as of today 20 March 2015 it had not been updated since before 2012).

Here's Betty Jo, a twin Mustang, at the NMUSAF in Dayton, Ohio.
and my personal favorite, a C47D. My father-in-law flew these things in WWII and during the Berlin airlift.

You link to the Wikipedia page of the Militair Luchtvaart Museum (Military Aviation Museum), that museum no longer exists. It now is part of the National Military Museum.
What I find interesting it that they claim it is a Do-24K while other sources say it is a Do-24 T-3.

Yes, just to be clear, that's why I first posted the link to the new National Military Museum. However I could find no listing there of the collections, so I also gave the link (with words of caution 😉) to the listing on Wikipedia, as I must assume that the whole collection, as it now exists, was transferred to the National Military Museum.
