Maybe good options for walkaround for you, in printed way... will see

[Letipapa]

and this too ...

Oh , you know, if I only could go behind that rope they put and photo all details, but girls and boys (in fact uniformed soldiers) who worked there, did not permit that at any case; no chance. It could be much more photos, but this is all right too.

If I said this is perfect- this is perfect!

Thank you ooohh great master It is my pleasure

After Hawkeye I continued with some more helicopters: Sikorsky CH-53 (hebr. Yas'ur), number 472 (photos 1 & 2); then Sikorsky S-55, number 03 (photos 3-7), and on last photo a bird (is it Sikorsky or some British heli, I do not know) with number 07, which I did just that one shot (why? - I don't know )

Now lets go on Gloster Meteors.
First, Gloster Meteor T-7 (hebr. Ra'am which means Thunder),whole aluminium number 15, with only black&white checkerboard type rings on the intakes of engines (photo 1), then another almost identical T-7 Ra'am, number 18 (photos 2-6), and then 9 photos of Gloster Meteor T-7/8 (hebr. 'Seven and a Half'), number white 21.

I think no one could stay not impressed looking this giant: Boeing B-377M Stratocruiser, number 039 'Masada'; first outside...

[Letipapa]

more outside...

[Letipapa]

inside is incredible, wide, oh how I would like to fly this bird...

[No.1]

They let you in?

[Letipapa]

It is opened and free entrance all the time - I was delighted, and I was lucky that no one else was coming in so I spent good amount of time sitting there. If I had not to go photographing the rest, I could sit there for hour.
more inside...

[Letipapa]

Two more photos of cockpit, and then look to the rear from cockpit entrance - there is small exhibition inside(photo 3). There are two interesting examples of aerial photo cameras (photos 4-6, our dear mfg459 and Jicehem could maybe tell as more about them ). The rest are inside details, and other interesting exhibits.
