David Heintz and emblems of the pilots. (2372) |
The turboprop engine, with counter-rotating propellers, from a Russian four-engine long-range bomber. (2373) |

I did a bad thing, I forgot to write down what the plane types were as I photographed them. This was a rare model of a Bell aircraft with the engine behind the pilot and the prop shaft under the pilot's seat. He must have worn steel pants!(2374) |
A model of a WWII era plane that nosed over while landing. (2376) |
Finland bought many planes from Russia, their "next-door" neighbor. (2377) |

Intake of a jet engine for a MiG plane. (2379) |
Cutaway of a small jet engine. Wonder if I could put that in a boat? (2381) |

A crankshaft and rods recovered from a crash site in a lake after forty years. What I found interesting were the connecting rods with spilt bottoms so they "straddled" the other con rod. (2383) |
BMW began making aircraft radial engines. The BMW logo is visible between the bottom cylinders. I think this one had a hard landing! (2384) |
Dave checking out some of the ordinance. The only other two museum visitors are to the left. (2388) |

Karl Aadolf Aarno was a sculptor and early aviator in Finland. I think he looks like the actor Paul Newman. (2406) |
Better view of the DC-3 from the elevated walkway. (2409) |
Great view of an early float plane; useful in a country with over 180,000 lakes. (2410) |
