Airforce Museum, Hanoi

[KTMphil]

If you're into Vietnam War Era equipment and planes, this place is a must. I'm told many visitors to Hanoi miss this as its not that well known.


The most spectacular thing on display is a U.S Navy McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II fighter plane riddled with bullet holes
