Sorry Len. I knew that. Just having a bad morning!
Thanks. I'd heard of Doolittle and Eaker, not Spatz though.
That American Air Museum seems a big empty space. Is there more yet to go in there?

The American Air Museum is absolutely chocka with aircraft Dave, ill post a couple of pics so you can see a bit more (their not very good though). Its not the new AirSpace complex that you are thinking of (or whatever they have called it).

I was just looking at all the space around that Blackbird, and thinking of how crammed inthe hangars were when i went there in 1993. Big difference.
