Air-and-Space
Welcome to Air-and-Space.com (previously known as the Goleta Air & Space Museum). Its primary themes are aviation, astronomy, and astronautics. Mostly it's an excuse to post my photographs taken at airshows, air museums, and hanging around the approaches to airports and military bases, etc. Its pages also contain links to aviation and space oriented web sites.

Video
Willow Run Bomber Plant Video Henry Ford was determined that he could mass produce bombers just as he had done with cars. He built the Willow Run assembly plant and proved it. It was the world's largest building under one roof. Even then FORD HAD A BETTER IDEA! This film will absolutely blow you away - one B-24 every 55 minutes.

The fascinating story of a B-17 and the crew that saved her from the scrap heap to fly a mission during WWII and resulted in 2 Medals of Honor.
B-17 'Old 666' Video |
Video
Two outstanding videos about F-18 carrier operations aboard the USS Nimitz during weather that causes a severely pitching deck, which you can see in the videos. It's more dangerous than most combat missions and the tension in the pilots and crew is very apparent.
