My dad and I went to the WWII Museum after my last PET/CT Scan. We killed our phones taking pics, but this is what I did snag inside the Freedom Pavillion which I havn’t been in before this. B-17, B-25 bombers hanging from the ceilings. Along with a P-51 Mustang, Douglas SBD Dauntless, TBM Avenger, and a Vought F4U Corsair. On the gorund they have a M4 Sherman Tank, a WC-54 Ambulance. There are 4 levels, so that you can walk above the planes that are suspended from the ceiling.

The B17 that is hanging in the museum is actually the 10th that rolled off of the Boeing Assembly line...

After 53 years of sitting on the Greenland icecap and 5 years in a hangar at Tillamook, Oregon, "My Gal Sal" began a restoration in April 2000.

In January 2013 it was put on display when the new Boeing Building the Freedom Pavillion at the WWII Museum.

Wow, these are incredible! I would have love to have gone. Would be even cooler if we could maybe somehow go inside at least the planes. Great pictures! :D
