Re: Hobbycraft F8F VNAF
Declan & Stuart, thank you. I’ll have more updates nice I get the cockpit quite a bit further along. That will likely be next week.

I forgot about the Naval Aviation Museum!! I've been once and I ran out of batteries and space on my camera and phone with all the pics I took! That's heaven for US Naval Aviation fanatics like me!

Yes I need to hit there and Dayton before I die. Fort Rucker is supposed to have a nice museum also for Army aviation stuff.

Yes, I've been to that museum a number of times. If you go on a Wednesday in the summertime, don't forget to slip out to the back of the museum and watch the Blue Angels practice. They run their practices just like a show complete with a set of bleachers to sit on. The fun part of it is that if the pilots don't quite nail a maneuver; they do it again!
Good times!

Re: Hobbycraft F8F VNAF
Mark, do the Blues practice in the summer or the winter? I always thought that winter was their off/practice season and summer was when they do their air show tours around the nation.

Re: Hobbycraft F8F VNAF
They practice at Pensacola NAS (where the museum is) during the airshow season. It's only during the winter that they're at El Centro.
