Vlad could make a killing writing a book about great daytrips in an RV (or any other airplane).

Very cool reading your account of this trip. In 2014, I took a road trip from MI to the East Coast and included the Mid-Atlantic Air Museum as a waypoint. I've been following the restoration of the Black Widow online for many years and it was a thrill to see it in person!

Here is a list of museums that should be on everyone's list
http://http://www.vgbimages.com/AirMuseums |
It's amazing that in that lengthy and exhaustive list of amazing museums they missed the Strategic Air Command Museum just west of Omaha. Dozens of aircraft including an SR71, a B-36, ICBMs... And how many Avro Vulcans are there in the US?

Air Victory Museum open
Initially I planned to reach Air Heritage Museum at Beaver County airport KBVI. Launched early.
![]() On the way received a report from the Red Barn that weather conditions are marginal. ![]() I had tons of time and kept pressing toward Pittsburgh PA. There was some chop, a gusty 40 on the nose and after two hours of bouncing I quit. A wall of ice just formed 30 miles from my destination. I don't like ice in the sky I prefer it on Alton Bay or Mooselookmeguntic Lake. ![]() Turned around, climbed on top of the scattered layer and activated Plan B. Sneaked under Philladelphia Class Bravo and landed at South Jersey Regional KVAY. It took me only 3.2 hours to get to an airport which normally takes 15 minutes. :) ![]() Air Victory Museum was open. ![]() |
I was the only visitor and spent couple hours at the Museum. Never knew there was a flying aircraft carrier.
![]() There is a very nice WW2 exhibition with unique artifacts. ![]() ![]() ![]() The diameter of the propellers on this Enola Gay model is two inches. The electric propeller below pushed B-36 Peacemaker and is 19 feet in diameter. ![]() Well presented Cold War era and modern jet age. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It was a great day of flying with an immersion into aviation history in the middle of it. ![]() |
