From my first visit to the National WWII Museum, a very nice collection of aircraft that I hadn’t expected.  Mezzanine bridges were great in getting you close to the aircraft at various heights.  In 1942, during a ferry flight, this B-17 had a forced landing on the Greenland ice pack where it remained until recovery in 1995.  Nikon D500 w/18-200mm, processed with Aperture and Panorama Stitcher.  27 photo composite image (59.7 MP)
