Inside the NASFL Museum, photo by Joseph May from Travel for Aircraft.
Thank you to writer Joseph May for featuring the Naval Air Station Fort Lauderdale Museum on his Travel for Aircraft Website! Joe had visited the Museum in previous years when things were in a flux, and has written several posts of his visits to the Museum. Joe has a passion for planes, photography, travel, and life, and it brings it all together in his blog, where he publishes his posts "every Wednesday and Friday mornings (Eastern Standard Time [EST] or Eastern Daylight Time [EDT], as appropriate) — more often as time permits."
Joe's Philosophy:
"Three years ago, after getting a photographic kit together for the quality of photos I like to obtain, I decided to visit aviation displays systematically and as frequently as I could manage. I use a Canon EOS 5D with an EF 14mm II lens for the most part. Occasionally, I also use an EF 24-105mm lens as well as a 580 EX II flash unit. This equipment fits into a small camera bag that slides under airliner seats. Other camera kits can be had and are better, of course. I made good use of Google Earth, Wikipedia, airliners.net and Google’s search engine. I research using these tools and also use Google Earth to record whatever I’ve found in a KMZ file. “Why am I doing this?” — you might ask. A good question and I don’t have a rational answer. I enjoy seeing remarkable aircraft and pondering the history they were used to make — a simple appreciation. Geology pays my bills, also offering enjoyment and more reason to travel. Travel allows me to experience how things are done by other peoples; try coffees, teas, beers, wines and food; see historic aircraft; visit museums; wonder at geology and geography; as well as to just get lost for a while."
