De Havilland DH-112 Venom Mk I Walkaround (Swiss Long Nose)

Here are some of the shots I made last friday at the aviation museum of Payerne in Switzerland (A shame some of the staff of the museum are morons....). I took some pics and made some measurement of the "long nose" for a future project.

That day I also met Yves Rossy, you know "JetMan", who was preparing a conference and talked a bit with him.

Some measurements performed on the nose:

Note that the 19x19 cm panel is not found on the left side.

Walkaround of the Messerschmitt Bf-109 E3 (J-355; Werk NummerlFactory Number 2422) exhibited at the Swiss Air Force Museum at Dubendorf Air Base near Zurich, Switzerland.

Mil Mi-6 Hook cockpit (Aviation museum of Riga, Latvia)

This huge baby welcomes you when you get inside the aviation museum of Riga. Before being replaced by the Mil Mi-26 Halo, the Mi-6 was the biggest helicopter in the world. This aircraft was repainted by the museum. Needless to say that when the guy of the museum asked me if I wanted to get inside this monster I was about to poop in my pants :-) Portboard landing gear I was lucky enough to get inside the monster and discover a museum full of soviet-era stuff Some access door on the ceiling Seat inside the nose of the monster Inside the nose (portboard) Starboard side of the nose + my hairy arm as a bonus Above pilot's head
