Really awsome set of shots there Andrew! You did an excellent job of showing the size of the H4, with that Dak underneath it's wing you can really see what a huge plane the H4 was.

Thanks for posting them.

Cheers,

TSC.

PS: Your a lucky g!t, sitting in the left seat of the H4, I'm a bit green this morning. 

Great shots!  Hands down, my favorites are parts 6 & 7.  That's so cool they let you sit in the cockpit of that massive airplane.  Every museum I've been to is really picky about what airplane they let you sit in, and some won't let you sit in any at all.  Great series.

Great shots in all the posts, Thanks for taking us along, Mark

Thanks guys, glad you're enjoying them...

I discovered how difficult it can be to photograph aircraft in a crowded museum, with less than optimal lighting. The Evergreen Museum was ok, though the whole side of the museum is a big window that lets in a lot of light, which can have issues at times, like my photos of the flightdeck.

That new section at the Seattle Musem was the worst...

Well done, and thanks for the peek at the Hercules... I really want to get up there some day for a look myself.

Great job Andrew...wonderful...I would have thought they would have been glad to give a Veteran a free tour...the cheap sods.   

So...was there any resemblance between the Ford Tr-Motor controls and the Spruce Goose? 

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

I didn't see a military discount mentioned, so I didn't ask. I was able to take advantage of their AAA membership discount, which I used. At the Seattle Museum of Flight, they had a military discount that I used. As a general rule, I usually don't ask about military discounts unless I see it advertised, or unless i've heard about one.

I really couldn't get a good look into the Tri-Motor cockpit, so i'm not really sure how similar they are
