I went back and looked at those pieces from the old PBS series I linked to and saw that a number of them were already owned by the USMC museum, but also that there were a number of Marine-subject works that were in the Army’s collection. Ah well. Sounds like the new wing is going to bring a lot to the table. Thanks for the kind words on the Pensacola photos. @National Museum of the Marine Corps (also @Lin Ezell) FWIW, the USAF museum had a pretty good gallery of GWOT photography.

You are pretty much hitting up a lot of places I want to visit. The National Museum of the Marine Corps does have an extensive Combat Art collection, we just don't have room for it. When we build out Phase 2 and complete the circle, an art gallery is in the plans. Love your photos of the Naval Aviation Museum…I (the person behind NMMC’s social networking) has this on schedule.

The F-14 mock up from VF-41 looked pretty sweet. I'm must of built 2 dozen VF-41 F-14 models when I was a kid. Fat Albert has always been one of my favs!

My memories of the area are really limited, but I DO remember living on the base. Wow, that was so long ago, back when I was innocent and stuff.

Looks like I'll be returning from a trip to Atlanta around the time you'll be arriving in Santa Fe, if you're still on track for Nov. 5. Send me an email offline if you want to get together while you're in NM-- hope so. Not sure if I sent you my new phone number after I moved? IT BK!

In those spaces, we are now fabricating 3 add'l historical galleries to ocver theperiod 1775 thru WWI. While we try to use combat art liberally in the galleries, we look forward to the 2d phase of our Museum, which will provide ample space for our entire art collection for display, storage, and studios for today's combat artists. Check out the exit from Legacy Walk on your next visit; in the last few months, we have installed quite a bit of art created during OIF and OEF. We couldn't agree more about how great it is to display our art, and Pensacola has a great track record for doing that!
