These were taken today, upon my visit to China Lakes museum. Doug Kibbey went with me and we met Rob Roche who gave us a great tour of the museum and its jets. The pictures should show the following;
1. X-F4D SkyRay 124587 (nickname FORD)
2. F-11F-1F Super Tiger 138647 (2-3 are left in world)
3. F-18A Hornet 160775 (first Hornet built)
4. TA4F A4 Trainer 152102 (notice missile head in nose)
5. A6E TRAM Intruder 152936
6. A7C Corsair 156797
7. RF4B Recce Phantom 157348 (cameras were stolen from nose)
The museum has a LARGE display of rockets, missiles and bombs. I got some good snaps inside as well. Enjoy.

Here are some pictures from the inside of the China Lake museum. I apologize for the darkness. There is no way to photograph evrything that they have, there are so many missiles, rockets and bombs, not to mention electronics, radios, cameras, etc... The pictures I have here should be as follows;
1. 1944 BAT
2. M12 Atomic Bomb in back and a GBU-24B (dumb bomb made smart)
3. My son Morgan with a Harppon missile and an AGM 84H-1
4. My other son Jeffrey with a Cruise Missile
5. Outside of the China Lake museum.
Again, Doug probably has much better interion pictures than I.
