Veefer800Canuck 937 Posted May 21, 2012 NAS Pensacola! Featured. I've been there! Toured the whole museum, very interesting. I was there at the same time they had the Oriskany moored dockside not too far away, finishing the preparations for the big sink! Got fairly close to the Mighty "O" for a look.

Member Contributer The mailman 259 Posted May 21, 2012 Oh yeah! Tomcat and a man made reef. My wife and I are both Air Force vets and my daughter just had her going away party for the Army night before last. She's planning on flying helicopters if everything works as planned. Thanks for the awesome pics! Quote Link to comment

Roebling3 39 Posted May 22, 2012 You have reminded me that I've always wanted to visit the Naval Air Museum. I learned ~30 years ago there is/was a W. Starling Burgess design/built amphibious biplane on display. The only one to survive, from very early 1900's. It was built in Marblehead MA; also the Burgess-Dunne Hydro-Aeroplane. Burgess, a sailing vessel designer pioneered amphibian aircraft as did Glenn Curtiss and others. If interested search his name and relations with R. Buckminster Fuller. Thank you posting a great picture with a really good looking VFR. Good fortune, R3~ Quote Link to comment
