Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

They really did a sjitty job on the fonts and positions of the serials and 'USAF'-titles on some of the aircraft, but a very nice museum indeed!!

There is another big one, but far from downtown (right next to the airport). As I only had weekend in Vietnam I didn't find time to visit it.
There was another museum with 2 or 3 planes on display (UH-1, F-5 and I think A-37), but I didn't have the patience to wait in long line to get inside.
