Re: USAF Museum Bf109 G10
Good questions, Chuck.
On the one hand we have the gross negligence on the part of the USAF Museum regarding authenticity when compared to the considerable lengths that NASM goes to in achieving accurate displays.
On the other hand, the alleged comments of the Dayton Museum director made in one of the recent posts here make sense, too. Let's face it: correct Bf 109 displays with the correct model number, correct color schemes, markings, Werknummern, etc., etc., etc., are only important to approximately .0000000000000001% of the population at large and about .000001% of the Museum's visitors. I'm sure those who run the place besides the director are fully aware of this. Go out and do a random street survey of 1,000 people and you will be lucky to find even one who can tell you what a WNF Bf 109 G-10 is.
So if the Museum's primary mission or business goal is not in conflict with its sloppy attention to accuracy, then it is hard to fault them from a management standpoint. I'm sure nobody at Wright-Pat is losing sleep over this issue.
