 Indiana, Indiana

23 Mayıs 2008'de Türkiye sinemalarına iki yeni film gösterime giriyor. İlk filmimiz başrollerinde Scarlett Johansson, Eric Bana ve Natalie Portman oynadığı, Justin Chadwick yönettiği The Other Boleyn Girl / Boleyn Kızı. Diğer filmimiz kült haline gelmiş Indiana Jones serisinin son halkası, devam filmi olan Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull /Indiana Jones ve Kristal Kafatası Krallığı . İlk iki filminde yönetmeni olan, Steven Spielberg gene iş başında -zaten başka birini düşünemiyorum- Harrison Ford'u zaten Star Wars'da Han Solo ile çok sevmiş, Indiana Jones karakteriylede başımızın tacı yapmıştık. Serinin ilki filmi Raiders of the Lost Ark ile 1981 yıllında oldukça büyük başarı yakalayıp 5 Oskar ödülü kazanan ve ardıdan 1984 yılında Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom ile iki dalda Oskar'a aday gösterilip En İyi Görsel Efekt dalında oskarı kazandı. Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull /Indiana Jones ve Kristal Kafatası Krallığı içinde Oskar aday gösterileceğine ve en az bir dalda ödül kazanacağın dedikodular arasında...

Back to visit last week after 9 years. This time both me and my wife visited and were very impressed with the exhibits....It was great to see the Wildcat sitting there. The last time it was in pieces and the Grumman guys were working on it. This museum has come a long way since my last visit and we both will return. We also visited Kermit Week's "Fantasy of Flight" and were astounded by the price of admission and the inability to view the aircraft due to crowding and his reluctance to allow visitors to see it all. Yes, the walk thru is great and the interactive B-17 is great. We both loved it...but if anyone is reading this.....spend you money with the Valiant Air Command and get up close and personal with the aircraft. I will not go back to Kermit's place. Best wishes to all that work so hard to make the VAC Museum a success.

As someome who once worked at this Museum, I can say for FACT, not all these aircraft fly. While people are led to belive that ALL are in great shape and FLY. This is however untrue Kermit will get bored with one and ground it. I have seen this happen with meny of them. He will also ask his "Spirit Guides" for addvice on the aircraft.(Forbes magazine:"Blame it on Snoopy")He is a big kid with big toys. The only airplanes he flies are a piper L-4 (Cub) and about once a month a TP-40N. The TP-40N only comes out when he is trying to impress a "big wig". So please, go have a look, it is a neat place. Just don't let yourself be fooled by all the hype!

In June 2006 I traveled from Richmond, VA on a 3300 mile aviation vacation, touring 5 states and 13 aviation museums. It has been my pleasure to have included the Fantasy of Flight in this endeavor. The exhibits are well placed making it extremely easy for aircraft photography. They are extremely well maintained and a real pleasure to view and enjoy. I give the museum Five Stars and tell all aviation enthuiasts like myself to place the Fantasy of Flight on my must see list.

 Goes,

As being myself an ower of vintage airplanes I was surprised to find such an excellent collection of fyable vintage WWI and WWII airplanes. The set up of the museum is great! I never heard of this collection and passed by accident (we had to refuel the car). This has been a great experience and certainly I will be back and maybe fly some of these birds!
