THE COMMEMORATIVE AIR FORCE MUSEUM, SAN MARCOS, TEXAS:
The word
Museum was somewhat inappropriate, the Commemorative Air Force Hangar,
Exhibits and flight certified Aircraft are truly magnificent, all the
aircraft are in beautiful condition and the Pilots perform various
displays throughout the year.
I must mention the Team at the
CAF, San Marcos, so approachable, friendly and they gave me free rein to
photograph their magnificent Aircraft Collection and facilities. Totally stoked,
I thoroughly recommend visiting the CAF!
AIRCRAFT EXHIBITS:
Every Aircraft in the collection is in top condition, most if not
all appear to be flight certified. The Hangar is huge and it needs to be, a
beautiful example of a B25 Mitchell Bomber demands respect and some decent
clearance!
HARVARD AT-6 RED TAIL:
HARVARD - 'TORA KATE REPLICA': The Tora
Kate Replica was built for the Movie 'Tora Tora Tora', the Replica incorporates
a Harvard 'AT-6' airframe which was modified to incorporate the three seat
cockpit and the tail was replaced by a 'BT-13' type all to achieve a semblance
of a B5M KATE. This aircraft was used in two Movies, 'Tora Tora Tora' and 'Pearl
Harbour'.
