I’m back! I took a break from WarThunder for about 2 weeks, and discovered that I am unable to post if I have not played recently. That is not the point of this post. Over the weekend I went to Lagoon in Utah, and while I was in the Area I took the opportunity to go to the Hill Air force museum. I took some photos similar to how I did at the War Hawk museum.
This was designed to be fired into a group of bombers. It would explode inside the formation and annihilate the whole squadron without having to do multiple passes
B-17 + B-17 bomb bay view
the description was sun bleached so it might be hard to read, but essentially it says the AIM-4 was the worlds first operational air to air missile.
F-111E
I never took a photo of the description panel, so in couldn’t tell you what modification it is, it some other letter in the name: B_-57
MiG-21 + MiG-17
What I found interesting is that this plane is still airworthy! They fly it around once in a while. There is probably some way to buy an expensive ticket to fly in the auxiliary cockpit.
F-22A Raptor
It seems nearly surreal to me to be this close to one. In my mind it is still some super secret government protected aircraft. Yet here I was right next to one!
F-15 Eagle + M-61 Vulcan
Oh, my bad, I will fix that when I add the rest (I’m too lazy to right now) you are correct. There was an F-105 there and I took a similar shot of the F-111 that is probably why I confused them
I just lost my 270+ day streak because I logged in less than 20 minutes later than I should’ve :( I thought I only missed one day too (which doesn’t reset your streak, but I guess I missed 2.
Also has anyone else been encountering errors when posting responses? Half the time I get “405 error” and have to resend my comment.
Reminds me of a game i sometimes play on Roblox called “Plane crazy” whenever I feel creative I’ll boot it up and build something like this. It can take lots of time and dedication. I bet you put in lots of effort.
