Fighter Factory

Josh and I had our first visit to the Fighter Factory / Military Aviation Museum in Pungo. There are two groups of buildings; the one at the far end of the driveway has the workshop / maintenance area and the WWI planes, while the main building has the WW2 planes and some vehicles.
Some of the planes:

• P40 with Flying Tigers livery
• P39 
• P51 Mustang
• FW190
• Yak 3
• Corsair
• B25
• Junkers Ju52--larger than I expected, and the exterior is all corrugated, including the wings
• Mosquito
• Spitfire
• Storch observation plane--they said it had a 300ft takeoff roll
• Fokker DR1 triplane
• Fokker D VII biplane
• Albatross D.Va
• Sopwith  1 1/2 Strutter
• V1 flying bomb

They also had a display of the various types of ammo in use, from .30 cal to 30mm, and several vehicles--staff cars, gun tractors, that sort of thing. They also had a British antitank gun from the North Africa campaign, and a 89mm Flak gun in an Afrika Korps paint scheme, which was cool -- nobody was looking, so I sat in the gunner's position for a while, and thought about...well, what I actually thought about was telling Josh to go get the car and see if we could surreptitiously tow it home. We could put it behind the house. I can see the conversation when Diana gets home:

"What's that?"

"It's a tree, sweetie."

"A tree?"

"A fliegerabwehrkanone tree."

"When did you get it?"

"We've always had a tree in the back, hon."
