I have many... on my hard drive at home.... what in particular are you looking for? It's one of my kids favorite places.

Ditto, I have a BSA event there every year. Somewhere here I posted pics previously of some mv's from one of my events and the planes suspended by cables.
Really cool place and keeps growing and changing.

Beautiful, will you be able to get it running again?

I think my other pics are probably in the MV spotted thread......

Hi Ken,

I'm hoping to get a nice shot of the front of the building to use on a book cover.
Nothing special other than that...

No crunch to get it quickly.
Maybe in a week or so?

@juanprado , I could use a pic of the lead up to the building - possibly the front of the building. AND if you happen to have the Scouts assembled out front, that would be even better.

I spent an entire day there and it still wasnt enough, it pretty amazing what all they have in there and 100% worth going!

We do 2 events. One is an open day that scouts in uniform get in free. We also rent the freedom pavilion one night for a $200k fundraiser.

I have never captured a pic of scouts outside in the entrance. They are working on the main entrance remodel and have everyone entering temporarily through a big red door on the side. The museum is most of a block and also across the street with a pedestrian bridge connecting the 5 or 6 buildings in the complex.

Their education dept is pretty friendly and maybe can help you with the pic before they started remodel. Not sure if it is finished yet.

I went to the 3rd Armored Division Veterans annual reunion there a few years back. Very good museum. You can spend days there to see everything. I donated a lot of WWII stuff to the museum after I visited.

Just as much a museum as antique shop.

I can't supply the needed picture, but can confirm that the museum is well worth a visit.

If one does not suffer from vertigo or fear of heights, the high catwalks above the suspended aircraft offer a view we seldom get to see.

Cheers
