This is the first thing you see when you walk into the building. There are more planes to the left and the right of this picture also. It was pretty impressive.
Here, you can see a few more planes, plus a couple of bombs, (the big white one that goes out of the picture, and the gray one that is hovering over the tank. Yeah, they're really that big. Scary!) and tanks.
My teacher, Keith, told the class that there are apparently differences in sex between tanks. Anyone care to venture a guess between male and female? It has to do with gun size? Oh, alright I'll tell you. The male tanks have canons and the female tanks have machine guns. HA! So funny.
This is the atomic bomb. I was surprised at how tiny it was considering what it's done, and in comparison to the other bombs.
This beauty is a landmine. I don't know if it was from growing up watching movies where land mines were really tiny and soldiers would step on them accidentally, because they never saw them, and then they would die. Delusions shattered. If someone accidentally stepped on this I'd have to be seriously concerned about who was being allowed into the military.
All joking aside, this was found outside of a little town. I didn't get the details of it, but the thought of it being found by a child made my skin crawl. Yikes.
When you go through the museum, you'll eventually come to a screen that is being projected onto the wall, by a computer. You can enter your name and e-mail address in, then your name goes into their database saying that you remembered, and your name will get to be on the screen, floating around with a bunch of other names forever! I felt pretty cool about it.
