Tom and Greg checking out the history of the different aircraft
A DC-7B stands right outside the Main Gallery and into the Outdoor Plaza.
Fitz standing next to a F-4 Phantom.  The same plane that just missed dropping Napalm on Nick in Vietnam.  
The inside of a Boeing CH-46 which we are all familiar with because it was used for inserting troops, bringing supplies out to the bush and picking up the wounded and KIA's and taking them back to a rear hospital or ship. 
A-4 Skyhawk developed in 1954.  Made for aircraft carriers because they don't have to fold their wings up for storage and can carry a large amount of ordinance. 
AH-1J Sea Cobra. The Huey Cobra was first used in 1965 in the Vietnam War by the Army.  The AH-1J Sea Cobra was developed for the U.S. Marines in Vietnam shortly after.
​The Main Gallery of the Museum with the different planes and helicopters hung on the sealing.
​A320-214 Flight 1549 'Miracle on the Hudson'.  The Airbus A320 took off from LaGuardia Airport in New York City bound for Charlotte, North Carolina, carrying 150 passengers and 5 crew members on Jan. 15,2009.   About two minutes into the flight, the plane struck a flock of Canadian geese, which caused a complete loss of power in both engines. Realizing he could not make it back to LaGuardia or reach an airport in New Jersey, Captain Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger, assisted by First Officer Jeff Skiles, glided the plane down and made a controlled emergency water landing on the Hudson River.   All 155 people on board survived, with only five suffering serious injuries.
