I've heard about this place in Kalamazoo called the Air Zoo. I'd been meaning
to go for a number of years now and I finally went. I was not disappointed
with the place and will definately head out that way again.
The P-40 Warhawk. Apparently this plane was flown by one of the original
founders of the museum.
The XP-55 Ascender.
A B-25 Mitchell
The F-14 Tomcat. This is by far my favorite plane. I don't know how many
models of this aircraft I've had in my life. And it wasn't Top Gun that did
it for me. It was an older movie called the Final Countdown. The planes
were done in this regalia. Shame they retired it.
A Wright Flyer
An Observer plane
The Ryan PT-22
The Fairchild PT-23
The Waco VPG
A Spad
A Tri-Fokker
Not sure what these planes are.
Same with these two.
Another angle of the B-25.
A Grumman Goose
A Spanish version of the Bf-109
A Model of a Japanese Battleship
A US Marine
A Sailor
A Grasshopper
P-47 Thunderbolt and Jeep
P-39 Airacobra
A-4 Skyhawk
AH-1 Huey Cobra
F/A-18 Hornet
One of the cooler things about the Air Zoo is the mural that wraps around the
building. This is part of it.
A Model of the USS Nimitz
A Model of the USS Wisconsin
An SR-71
A Trojan Trainer aircraft.
An A-1 Skyraider
A MiG-17
A F4F Wildcat
An F6F Hellcat. Another one of my favorite planes. I wish it would have been
placed better though. It was kind of tucked away in the corner and I couldn't
get a good angle to take a picture of it.
A Model of a B-29 Superfortress
An odd picture of the model of the Nimitz. I think the reflections are off my
camera lens.
A rocket engine. What I didn't realize is that the Air Zoo took over the
Michigan Space Center that used to be in Jackson. It was pretty cool to see
some of the NASA stuff.
A Gemini Trainer.
