A Few Photos from the Air Power Park at Hampton, Virginia

This F-86L in the markings of the Burlington, VT-based 37th FIS caught my eye right off.
The F-51 Mustangs and F-102 Delta Daggers of this unit wore similar colors.
I have an Airfix 1/72 model
of this aircraft over my desk as I type.
The following link will bring you to an informative page
on this museum:

The big F-105 Thunderchief is always impressive. A warplane from the 1950s without peer.
Not sure if this wing (ZZ) operated the RF-4C, but it looked just fine in my viewfinder.
For the Missileers among us, in the foreground is a US Army Corporal IRBM
and behind it is a Little Joe booster for the Mercury Capsule.
Pretty rare one here: This is the forerunner to the Harrier,
the XV-6 Kestrel, undoubtedly built by Hawker.
