The Aviation Heritage Center is an incredible museum that you must see if you haven't already.

That's omaka, not omaha and it's in New Zealand.
Talk about dioramas (http://www.warbirdz.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=793)! These are lifesize dioramas with extremely lifelike manniquins, are so well made, due to the fact that they were created by same folks that worked on the movie Lord of the Rings. It's hard to tell if they are real people in costume or fake.
My favorites on the second website above are the Etrich Taube with Sharpshooter, Red Baron Crash Site, and the Nieuport in the Tree. What do you think?
I've been told that one of the pilots in the planes is really -York- who sneaked on the set before these photos were taken! Can you tell which one?
Planes in the collection:
Caproni CA.22 Etrich Taube Fokker E.III 'Eindekker'
Airco DH-2 Morane-Saulnier TYPE BB Royal Aircraft Factory R.E.8
Workshop - Bristol F2b Halberstadt D.IV Albatros B.II
Royal Aircraft Factory SE5a Nieuport 27 Siemens Schukert D.IV
Fokker Dr.1 'Triplane' Bristol F2b Fighter The Baron's Last Flight
Pfalz D.III Nieuport 24 Airco DH-5
Enjoy!
