For 5th FMS travel bug

1 Jul 07 View Image Veteran's Memorial in Ida Grove This is a photo of a part of a very nice veteran's memorial in Ida Grove, near where we found this TB.. 22 Oct 06 View Image the 5th FMS visits the Original Stash While LoBri was on their trip to Seatle,Washington and back to West Liberty, IA we visited the first ever Geocache near Viola, Oregon. 22 Oct 06 View Image Palmer Amvets Post # 95 We decided this cache would be a great place to leave the 5th FMS. Notice the human legs? 14 Oct 06 View Image McChord AFB Wanted to get a better pic but this is all I could get today.
8 Jul 05 View Image view from the air Float planes use this lake near cache in Cordova, AK, to land and take off. 12 Mar 05 View Image 5th FMS tb at Vancouver Airport 7 Mar 05 View Image 5th FMS TB w/ F16 & Super Cobra 2 Sep 04 View Image A boat plane on Lake Union Taken near the cache we dropped it off in. Many planes pass over here.
4 Jun 04 View Image Note the tail wheel. I was surprised at seeing this little tail wheel, but then I remembered hearing that this jet rose so quickly that they had to put this wheel here to prevent the back of the plane from scraping the runway! 4 Jun 04 View Image A closer view of the engines. 4 Jun 04 View Image The back of the wing. Hmm. I thought I had a picture of the wing, but apparently I didn't get it after all. I walked towards the back of the SST, and pressed the lens of the camera through the chain-link fence to try to get a shot of the back of the wing and the engines. 4 Jun 04 View Image Ah, much better. OK -- in this shot you can read "British Airways" and see the Travel Bug. Of course it's dark. Perhaps I should have used the flash. Oh well, they say that hindsight is always 20-20.
4 Jun 04 View Image See the Travel Bug? Oops. This shot didn't turn out too well. [:(] 4 Jun 04 View Image The SST. OK. The SST is currently located to the North of the Museum proper. As you can see from this picture, it is entirely surrounded by a chain-link fence. I'm told that folks *can* actually board the plane until 4 PM. I was surprised at hos small this airplane looks. I guess I was expecting a much larger jet. 4 Jun 04 View Image Third warplane. This is the third warplane. It is the Eastern-most plane out here. No, I don't know the model name of any of these planes. 4 Jun 04 View Image Second warplane. This warplane is to the East of the first one. You can see the third one on the right side of the picture, too.
4 Jun 04 View Image War plane 1. The parking lot is on the South side of the Museum, and as you walk toward the entrance you'll probably notice these three old warplanes out on the lawn in front of the museum. This is the first of three, on the West end. 4 Jun 04 View Image In front of the Museum of Flight The sun was getting rather low in the sky, and I was hard pressed to find a place to get a decent shot of the Museum's name, but unfortunately the TB is rather dark. 6 Feb 04 View Image 5th FMS bug
