Linda decided to treat me for my birthday and one of the places we called in at on our way to Bodega Bay was the Pacific Coast Air Museum. I've not seen many of these older American planes close up before, it was very interesting to see them. From one of the F15s that was first on the scene in the air over New York on September 11th, 2001 to several Korean war veterans, there were interesting fixed and rotary wing things all over. The Northrop F5 in picture 3 was used by an aggressor squadron and featured in the film Top Gun. Pictures 25 and 26 show the difference in complexity between a Vietnam-war rotor hub and an Iraq-war rotor hub. The final picture is a sad and isolated Boeing Superfortress engine - an incredible piece of machinery in its time, being four radial engines behind each other in a single engine.
