The Top Secret Reason I Took a Break from my AL Conversion

That's a good read.  It's funny that the US took the plane apart and returned it in pieces.  During WW2, a B-29 had to make an emergency landing in Siberia.  The Soviets took the plane apart and made a direct copy, which allowed them to produce the plane in Soviet factories.  They were nice enough to return it to the Americans in one piece, albeit after a much longer period.  One of the other museums we visited had a really nice example, and you would never be able to tell them apart except for the cannons where the B-29 had machine guns. 

I wonder if the Americans made copies of the MiG-25 for later study?

On another note, we also saw a display with Francis Gary Power's U2 remains.  It was kind of like seeing your favorite team in a picture where they lost the big game.

I forgot to mention that for some random reason they had a motocross track at Patriot Park with all the tanks and planes.  It seemed to be well thought out, it was just a little bit of a random placement.
