Are all those birds Horten?
Rob Arndt
No.
The Horten up front is the Ho-IV in the Deutsches Museum. You can find
a list of sailplanes from that site...

Actually, only semi-in the Deutsches Museum. It's at the Flugwerft-
Schleissheim museum, which is part of the Deutsches Museum, but not
part of the main exhibition (That's in Munich).

Thanks for the info. BTW, is that what os meant by the "historical
section" in their sailplane listings???

Part of the building is an original hangar, and part is a new
construction for the museum. the originial hangar is "historic", thus
aircraft on display there are in the "historic hangar". It should just
say "old hangar" (that's what it says in German), but I guess the
translator figured a museum would want to describe something as
"historic", rather than old.

Also, they say that the aircraft on display there are important to the
airfield's own history.

Once per year (?) Schleissheim hosts a smashing good WWII Luftwaffe
swap meet, not far from that museum - which has to rank as my all time
favorite.
