The suprising bounty that is The Kalamazoo Air zoo...

[Gimpy117]

So I was in Kalamazoo for my orientation For western, and I decided to go to the air zoo while i was there. so we go through the main building (did see a nice Me-109 in Spanish service with the Merlin) so we go to the second building and I stumble upon glass cases with WWII militaria. First of all I see a case with a Jungfolk knife, a Knights cross with swords and diamonds, a compressor for a Me-262, german bomb sight, wound badge in gold, and just zinc, several Luftwaffe badges, A flying hlemet, Aircraft guages...etc...etc...later I stumbled into a rack of guns too tucked behind...I saw an mp-40, a byf 98k, a MG-42, several bayonettes, NCO and Officer sword, luger, p-38, a couple of japanese mg's and a panzershek...all in all I was surprised to see all this at an aircraft museum...

Pics later! I gotta get them off my camera...

and yes I know these aren't all guns but I dunno where else to put this...

I have visited the Kalamazoo Air Zoo several times and would highly recommend it to anyone in the area. Here is the official name.
