Luftwaffenmuseum Berlin-Gatow

08 Mar 06,, 20:42

Now here are some pictures of the Luftwaffenmuseum. I was in the region on monday last week and thought I could have a short visit. Too bad monday is the only day in the week it is closed. So my pictures are taken threw the fence which is the reason for some bizarre angles of view.
I'm looking forward to go there again when I have time again and the weather is fine enough to take some pictures.

SWEET pictures!! If I ever make it to Germany, you've just volunteered to be my tour guide

Is that a Harrier I saw in one of those pictures?

�He was the most prodigious personification of all human inferiorities. He was an utterly incapable, unadapted, irresponsible, psychopathic personality, full of empty, infantile fantasies, but cursed with the keen intuition of a rat or a guttersnipe. He represented the shadow, the inferior part of everybody�s personality, in an overwhelming degree, and this was another reason why they fell for him.�

Hell, I'd be happy if that was our CURRENT Air Force, let alone in a museum

Yes, it's a Harrier. Tomorrow I'll post a more explicit picture of it.

The most interesting stuff sadly stands in hangars. But within the next 3 weeks I'm gonna go there again.

Excellent pics JG especially take through a fence. Thank you for sharing.
Question..Is that a Russian Hind I see in the back by the helos?

Fortitude.....The strength to persist...The courage to endure.

No. It's a former NVA-Hind. After the German reunion they also flew a short time for the Bundeswehr but where sorted out soon.
The other pics are coming now.

Especially the booster on the F-104 is interesting. It gives Jump-Jet-ability to it.
