There is also our Favorite Tank Killer A-10A in the original Charocoal lizard camouflage. Photographing A-10 in this original green camo always put us back in the cold war days of A-10 flying in Europe taking out Russian tanks Exercise.

I came to this museum to specifically photograph this F-4C Phantom II.  This aircraft spots its original owner of Michigan ANG markings. As we always say ….. Phantom Forever!
