The new Storage Hangar:

This building is a treasure trove of aircraft and other artifacts.  As the name implies, they are stored there, not really displayed but the museum does have docent guided visits of the storage facility.  Here are the pictures I took there.

Bear in mind that it is crowded in there and it shows on the pictures !  Also note that I only photographed a fraction of what's in there as the tours are limited...  So here we go !

Maybe it is because of my background in Formula car racing, or perhaps it has to do with my previous work in engineering, but I always find aircraft engines very interesting.  I never cease to amaze at the creativity and complexity of them !  The museum has a fine collection of them, look at the shelves in the background !  Here are some more pictures:
