MRS Bunkermeister and I visited the Bowling Green, KY, Aviation Heritage Park recently.
Each aircraft is of a type that was used by a local Kentucky member of the US Armed Forces, like this UH-1B Huey helicopter from the Vietnam War.
This T33 is a training jet used by the USAF during the Cold War.
The F4 Phantom II used by the Air Force in Vietnam. The color scheme is the southeast Asia camouflage.
US Navy Panther jet, GI Joe got a jet of this type, but I never had one.
F111 Aardvark bomber also in Vietnam War colors. Local places often have museums about local events or local people. These aircraft look like they could taxi out and fly away. I am sure they are just hollow shells but they are kept in great looking condition. They are close to breaking ground on a building to house more artifacts.

---Seems they have all sorts of good stuff in MY, huh?
Very nice aircraft displays.
---Not every day you see an F-111 up close.
And that Blue Angels F9F Panther is fantastic.
(very well preserved)
Carry on.
All of these aircraft look like they could just fly away. No graffiti, no obvious problems, they do a great job, and they are collecting money to build a building.
