Thank you. That brief moment in time between a fresh overhaul and a life covered in oil.
RC B-29 Dina Might at the Lone Star Flight Museum on Galveston Island TX. Chamonix field camera, Rodenstock 150mm lens, Kodak Tri-X 320. Scale is 1/5, I think.

Me too. I bet that model flies and has capability to drop "bombs" too. Some of the giant scale models use a lot of RC channels. I first got some exposure when my 20 yo was maybe 12-15 and saw an air show sign. I knew there was no airport anywhere in the area but decided to see what was going on: huge flying models! It was a great time.

NAS Pensacola Museum (this place is amazing)
That place is cool, I went there about 4 years ago. Is that plane in the first image swinging?!
I'm guessing you had a tripod - any issues there? I have never tried bringing in a tripod to those types of places because I just assume I'd not be allowed to.
Yeah, the MIG was swinging as well as the Edna III Drone (I interpret it as flying)
They were more than happy to let me wander around with a tripod (you'd be surprised what can happen if you ask!) I could spend days there shooting.
The most interesting piece there for me was the Japanese Kawanishi N1K2 "George" in the center left of the Cabot control tower. Rare bird
