My older Brother came for the Wedding of my Grand Daughter and while he was here I took him to the Air Museum in Fortine Montana. Neither of us had been there so it was a new experience for both of us. Here's what they had to offer.......P1012313.JPGP1012314.JPGP1012315.JPGP1012316.JPGP1012317.JPGP1012332.JPGP1012312.JPGP1012319.JPGP1012320.JPGP1012321.JPGP1012322.JPGP1012323.JPGP1012324.JPGP1012325.JPGP1012326.JPGP1012330.JPGP1012331.JPGP1012327.JPGP1012328.JPGP1012329.JPG

Thanks for the nice comments..........did anyone notice the 7/8th scale Mustang (first pic. the second is full scale)? The main mounts are wheels and tires from a Honda Civic. Also it has two Ford V6's joined with a common crank, mounted inline........hence the gap in the exhaust. This little bird was hand built by the museum owner (it's privately owned) and was able to fly flat out at 250+ mph.
Not too bad for a "Home Built".

Hi Rick, when I first saw the title I was expecting some arranged flying stones in formation having experienced your side of humour. :tears-of-joy: But turned out looking like a nice little museum with some nice displays.
I thought the Mustang looked weird with those crooked undercarriage legs and thought bad restoration until you explained the homebuilt story.
Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
Richard

That looks a most interesting museum. Like Richard I thought the title might well be one of your tongue in cheek jokes.

Ice set of shots. Looks an enjoyable visit……why Stonehenge though? Just asking because I lived within a few miles of the real Stonehenge virtually all my life.

Same, I was going to make a Discworld druid reference but it looks like I don’t need to anymore :smiling3:
