Something a little different on my second channel! A few days ago I caught the Jacobite Steam Train in the Scottish Highlands. Here it is driving over the Glenfinnan viaduct followed by onboard footage. https://youtu.be/gJqxiHELZco
I have got into some strife from museums because they worry my videos will discourage people from visiting (because they can just watch my video.) I would argue that my videos whet avgeek appetites and are MORE likely to make people visit in person.
What are your thoughts? Are you more or less likely to visit an aviation museum that I feature in a video?
Did you know that there's only 1 B-2 Spirit stealth bombers on public display anywhere in the world? This structural prototype is on display at the NMUSAF in Dayton Ohio and here's my guided tour around it. https://youtu.be/xEPs9izdDJA
Do you know the real reason why the Spruce Goose was made of wood when other large aircraft from the era were all made of metal?

Did you know that the Avro Vulcan had the same engine as the Concorde airliner? Albeit an earlier version without an afterburner.
Hereโs my guided tour around one including an engine run and taxi.

IWM London this morning.

Did you know that the Saturn V rocket consumes 20 tons (40,000 pounds) of fuel per second? Almost half the oil consumed by most Chevy V8s (and this comment has nothing to do with me being a Ford man ๐)
Here's my tour around the Saturn V at the Houston Space Centre.
Did you know that Lockheed built an armed interceptor version of the Blackbird recon aircraft? The idea was that if someone saw the secret recon version, the USAF would simply say it was the interceptor being tested. In fact, what was happening was that it was flying top secret high speed recon missions all around the world. There is only one left anywhere in the world and here is my guided tour video around it.
