点评:For many years I have wanted to visit this museum and at last I was able to spend a short day there in May. It is incredible! It has around 400 aircraft located outside and another selection in hangars. You can take a tram tour for an extra payment but I chose to walk around (a few miles!) in the hot sun. So take sunscreen, water and a hat! Labelling is good and the audio tour was only $5, although limited to a handful of airframes. The outside aircraft suffer from the strong sunshine with faded paint schemes but are otherwise in good condition and not too crowded. There is so much to see. Modern planes include an ANA Boeing 787, a Cathay Pacific Boeing 777, the Orbis DC-10, Two Boeing 747’s and a Sud Aviation Caravelle (in poor condition), a Viscount, a Martin 404, several Convair liners, a Military Fokker Friendship, a Super Guppy, several Lockheed Constellations, DC7’s a very battered Boeing 727 and a range of military aircraft from Stratocruisers to a Globemaster to freighters and fighters and some big bombers. Inside the hangars are very well-preserved airframes including a Boeing B17, and a Spitfire. There is a good snack restaurant but a very mediocre gift shop with a poor selection of aviation books titles. Overall, the place is incredible ,and I hugely enjoyed my time there. It is a mecca for aviation enthusiasts.
翻译:多年来我一直想参观这家博物馆,终于在五月得以在那里待了短短一天。真是太棒了!博物馆室外大约有400架飞机,机库里也有一些。你可以额外付费乘坐电车游览,但我选择在烈日下步行(走了几英里!)。所以一定要带防晒霜、水和帽子!标签很好,语音导览只需5美元,虽然只限少数几架飞机。室外的飞机在强烈的阳光下,油漆褪色,但其他方面状况良好,而且人也不多。这里有很多值得一看的地方。现代飞机包括全日空波音 787、国泰航空波音 777、Orbis DC-10、两架波音 747 和一架南方航空快帆(状况不佳)、一架子爵、一架马丁 404、多架康维尔客机、一架军用福克友谊号、一架超级古比鱼、多架洛克希德星座、DC7、一架破旧的波音 727 和一系列军用飞机,从同温层巡航机到环球霸王,从货机到战斗机和一些大型轰炸机。机库内有保存完好的机身,包括波音 B17 和一架喷火式战斗机。这里有一家不错的小吃店,但礼品店很平庸,航空书籍种类很少。总的来说,这个地方棒极了,我非常享受在那里度过的时光。这里是航空爱好者的圣地。
