Wow- what kind of fighter is that? Was (Is) it one of those top secret jobs that came out of Area 51? Can I download one for FS9?

Bud, if I had known you were out there I would have come on out. I only live about 18 miles from the NAS. Bill

NAS Pensacola Sept 13, 2011 Plane on right had only two Green Landing gear lights. Made two passes past tower for a down gear check but tower could not be sure so they sent up the chase plane. They determined the gear was down but still no lock light. Decided to land and full stop on runway 25R. Everything came up roses but a bit of excitement for us. ![]() www.dem-productions.com/fs-pic/Pensacola_Sep 12 2011 Gear Prob.jpg[/img] |

Nice shots, unfortunately when I visit across the pond visits to Air Museums are frowned on by The Management. Have to see what I can manage on the planned East Coast trip next year. (Something along the lines of, "Oh look what we happen to be driving by....")

Allan If you like the Navy aircraft this is the finest museum in the country! One of the museums that you can actually touch the planes. You might have guessed I am an OLD ex USN
