Museum of Swiss Airforce in Dubendorf (many photos)

[Mnemonic]

Today I was visiting museum of Swiss Airforce (Dubendorf), this is second time I visiting this wonderful museum, but this time with good camera! It is pretty difficult to made a good shots there, because of complex lighting conditions, but I did my best in post-processing photos to make them more pleasurable to eye.

 

If somebody interested to see my photos from first visit, you can check them in my blog, but quality is worse there:
