Russell Military Museum, Illinois

[zz]

Just after crossing into Illinois from Wisconsin, we spotted an F.15 and F.16 at the side of the Interstate.
We exited and went back to look. We found a museum (in parts bordering on scrapyard) but what a great place.
Lots of US Army helicopters and several other aircraft of interest including 3 Bolivian AF UH.1s!

Morning ZZ, is there anywhere on this planet that you haven't been to? ;0)

[zz]

Ha! This was just a lucky find between Oshkosh and Chicago!

Hundreds of military vehicles as well - you name it , it was there!

Hi ZZ,

Magnificent find mate.... I must do a US road trip soon... When I did Oshkosh we drove to/from Minneapolis but as we only had two days it was straight there and back....

When I've finally retired that will be the thing to do... ROAD TRIP.....

Cheers and keep those pictures coming...

Bill
