Germany Sinsheim Technik Museum

[robcap]

I see a German SOH reunion coming up! I'm looking forward to THOSE pics, haha ;-)
We had a few Dutch SOH reunions in different museums, and it was always a great day!!
You must really try to get together, and share the occasion with us.

BEst, Rob

Elf Jahre Heidelberg; nie wieder (dauerhaft).

One thing I've always wondered - and maybe you can confirm or otherwise - is whether the nose glazing on the Ju-88 is reproduction, and whether they got it right.

No, they didn't. At least not in my eyes.

The He-111 also looks fairly odd, but that might just be because it's a CASA 2.111.

Was there about 8 years ago, it also has one of the best Armour displays I have ever seen. Great place!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

If Sinsheim already impressed you, Munster will make you faint.

Kein Problem,

Ich habe um Hilfe zu erhalten in diesen Tagen mit meinem Deutsch. Früher habe ich in der Lage sein zu umgehen, ohne zu viel Mühe.

Ich brauche euch alle auf dem Red Ox in Heidelberg für ein Pils oder zwei (oder drei) zu erfüllen. Theres dieses Problem mit dem Atlantischen Ozean, obwohl ....

I almost made it through that without having to check translate...I can write a little but I certainly can't speak much of it anymore. I never really got to thinking in German beyond simple sentences and phrases.

I got it. If you happen to come over here, we'll arrange something for sure!

Cheers,
Mark

Yes Mark, I think so too. It is nice to hear that some people lived here and it seems that they enjoyed it.
I can't say that i ever was in the US, but it's a dream for me to go there on holidays.
I must see an aircraftcarrier and i must see and go in touch with the mighty F-14(biggest dream). I think this is only possible at America so i must come over the great ocean.

TeaSea don't you have Holiday-houses for rent at Florida?
I know that at th[SIZE=-1]e Lakeland Air Museum Florida [/SIZE]there is a F-14 Tomcat on display...-But is there a Carrier museum nearby?

Funny you mention holiday houses. My wife and I have been trying to figure out if we can afford a house on the beach in the Melbourne area. One of our reasons was that we wanted to be able to rent it out to Europeans (for consideration on renting there). We found several properties, but the timing hasn't been right, and the insurance on a house on the Atlantic is incredibly high (past Hurricanes drove the costs through the roof). Still, we're looking.

Beyond Lakeland (I live 12 miles away) there's Fantasy of Flight and the Valiant Air Command Museum at Titusville. No nearby carriers I'm afraid. NAS Mayport in Jacksonville was supposed to be homeport for one but the Virginia Congressional delegation squashed that.

Looking at the Ju-88 again; they got the whole cockpit area wrong.

But who can blame 'em. There's just four or five complete survivors of this thing out there.

Lucky thing... But the Hurricans you got there are really no fun, i'm glad that we don't got that here.
If you finaly got a house, you must tell me!:ernae:

The other museums you mention seem to be interesting too. Maybe it should be Florida where i shall go to - but one thing - isn't it very expensive there compaired to other parts of the US?
