N905NA and Endeavour flyby @ IAH
Was not expecting the chase plane! Very cool.

Looks like the side scan was glued on with JB Weld. (Right behind the cockpit) ((takes deep breath and whispers -don't go political, don't go political)) |

In addition to the chase plane, it is (or I guess was now) always proceeded by weather scout plane that flies about 100 miles ahead looking for the smoothest flight path. I think it is an old DC-9 that NASA has outfitted with weather instrumentation. |

Would anyone have pictures of water landing planes? I don't think I have seen any of those on this thread yet.

Nice...
Very nice photos....would love the opportunity to see a few different planes even if they are inside. We get a good variety just passing through our airport but not too many old ones.

Indeed a true statement.
That museum has a number of "one and only" examples of planes in it's inventory. zob caught one of them in that top shot with the fuselage of the only remaining Kawasaki Ki-45 Toryu sitting in the shadow of the wing of the Aichi M6A1 Seiran. Maybe one of these days they will put the wings back on it. |

CapStar362 your right it is the engine for the Komet.
loumaag thanks for the id on the Kawasaki Ki-45 Toryu, I don't remember a plaque that had an identification. There are a number of "last surviving" types.
Some planes have no plaques and seem to be stored in the exhibition area,like this one. I have no idea what it is but in the second picture you can see the ribs which seems like a fabric covering. But, in the third picture the bottom of the wings appear to be wood (to me anyway).
