Title: Delta Museum
Post by: kvom on March 29, 2017, 08:26:53 PM

I visited the museum near the airport today as it was the 2nd day they had the 747 exhibit open.  Admission for the next few days is $7.47, but I was happy to learn veterans and Delta employees get in free.  Pretty good museum, as I spent about 1.5 hours going around it.  The main museum building is the original Delta hangar from when they first arrived at the airport in the early 40s.

Our dad, ranryn and me, started at Delta on 2-3-46.  When i was a pup I remenber going into the old buildings at that site where he worked on radios and started working with the simulators.  He retired as Chief Simulator Engineer. He spentt countess days in Binghamton NY at LinkBelt developing simulators. The first real building for them had 3 floors if tape drives to run 1 simulator, and went to a few PCs mounted outside the simulator cockpit exterior over the years. Neat history and amazing what the Delta family used to be.
