    Brazilian Aviation Museum

    Hi all,

    During the Holidays I went to the new museum created and kept by TAM, a Brazilian private air company. As I was with my fiancée and we were returning from a long trip, I didn't have too much time left to take good pictures of some nice airplanes that are displayed. Thus, my attention concentrated mainly in the genuine Bf109G (not a Spanish-made Buchón) displayed there as well as some of the other main military planes.

    This Gustav is wrongly painted as the famous Marseille's "Yellow 14" but it is in very nice shape after an extensive restoration. Well, I will let the pictures do the talk... once more, sorry for the few, poor-quality pictures.

    According to the museum, besides the 30+ planes already exposed there, there are 30 others awaiting restoration or room to be displayed.

    Douglas.

    This is the Bf109G which is displayed. According to the information provided in the museum's website, this is a rare original WWII-era Bf109. Personally, it was a thill to take a close look at this legend of WWII.

              An early jet fighter: the Gloster Meteor, with the colors of the 1º GavCa (1st Brazilian Fighter Group). The plane is missing the cockpit "buble" (still in restoration).





              From the other side of the "Iron Curtain": a training biplace MiG-15.

                  Here we have the Republic P47D-25 Thunderbolt "B5", showing the 1º GavCa's colors as it appeared during the late part of the Italy Campaign, in 1945. The "B5" pilot was the was 2nd Lieutnant Fernando Correa Rocha (born in 1921 and still kicking). He flew 74 combat missions and wa decorated with several Brazilian awards as wellas with the Distinguished Flying Cross, Air Medal with 3 oakleaf clusters (EUA) and Presidential Unit Citation (EUA).

                        Great pictures! Looks as though they have done superb restoration on all of the aircraft there.
