So we have been getting a lot of feedback telling us that while you love looking at our web galleries, there are many times when many of you just don't know exactly what you are looking at or have questions about many of the aircraft... WE ARE LISTENING! Our new online air museum is intended not only to be an answer to this issue, but also fun and dare I say it, educational. We are currently in the process of adding every aircraft that you could possibly see in any of our SLickPixels.com galleries. So be sure to drop in often to keep up on all the latest exhibits, additions / virtual displays in our museum. Still have questions... just let us know and we'll do our best to help. ENJOY!
