Located in Hamton, Virginia, Air Power is one of many museums that represent technology, experimentation and man's desire to conquer the sky and space. In particular, the museum collects, in addition to several aircraft, many vehicles that paved the way for the conquest of space in the 50s and 60s. Above all the Little Joe / Mercury, booster used in tests for the Mercury program. Launched from Wallops Flight Facility, 90 miles north. 2. The museum covers an area of 61,000 square meters collecting iconic aircraft such as the F-105D Thunderchief, the Phantom II RF-4C, the F-101F Voodoo and the A-7E Corsair II.
Hawker P.1127 NASA 520
Of particular interest is the P.1127 Kestrel, one of the experimental aircraft that led to the construction of the first vertical and/or short take-off and/or short take-off and landing jet fighter-bomber (V/STOL). 1. In addition to the outdoor part, the building houses eight themed rooms with over 350 scale models. A magical place where you can relive all the great steps taken in the aeronautical and space field.
