Philippine Air Force Museum - Manila

[harvard1041]

Across the road from the main Lufthansa hangars, here on Villamore Air Force Base, is the Philippine Air Force Museum - most displays outside - but some, such as the P-51, inside. Thought a few photos might be of interest.

We're working here for a while ...but no signs ( yet ) of the old NATTS Friendships or any interesting old bits stored away in old hangars , I've checked

Cool!

Looks a bit tidier than when I was there some years ago.

Is the Grumman Albatross amphibian still on display?

[harvard1041]

Yes - still there - couple more photos here.

Cheers

Gotta love the F-8 Crusader - last of the gunfighters.

Is that T6 a G perhaps?

I do like the way they abbreviate their name to just PHIL. AIR FORCE.

Yep, it beats HUKBONG HIMPAPAWID NG PILIPINAS as written on the Dakota. I do like the F-8 Crusader, the epitome of 1960s chic.
