Very Impressive Collection

Ok, this is not airplanes, but still one hell of a collection including some kick ass military hardware. It was sent to me by a friend, so I have no idea who, what, or where this collection is located.

Re: Very Impressive Collection

The plane is a Mitsubushi MU-2, probably one of the fastest private plane options short of going to a bigger jet. Surpised to see it sitting on the lawn like that - must be part of a fly-in community.

The plane is actually very cool, but has one of the highest accident rates in its class. In fact, FAA just required yearly type certification & training for this by all pilots - only prop plane to require this, regardless of total hours flown / experience. Serious sports car...

Re: Very Impressive Collection

Wow!!! What a lucky bastard!!! He (or she??) even has an indoor shooting range for small arms... There are some expensive pieces in that room, believe me. It is legal to own these machine guns if you have the right license.

Re: Very Impressive Collection

Not sure, but almost looks like one of those pieces is an anti tank rifle. Some real interesting pieces for sure.
