Pima Air & Space Museum *Big Update*
Pima Air & Space Museum *Big Update*
Following on from the flight and bus tour around AMARG, next up was the Pima Air & Space Museum.
Wow, I still don't think I can comprehend the variety of aircraft here, so many types I had never seen before and I really feel that I didn't do it justice. It really does need at least two days to go around properly.

Re: Pima Air & Space Museum
Great set from a little corner of heaven. If you are in to US hardware this is a must. Think on my visit I saw 30odd new types (C-133,C-124, B-58, B-57, B-50, and loads of USN types).

Re: Pima Air & Space Museum
Great shots and great memories. I've been twice; 1996 and 2001. Would love to go back.

Re: Pima Air & Space Museum
Thanks for the comments gents, it is indeed a little corner of heaven Rob I'll post some more later today
Re: Pima Air & Space Museum
That museum is definitely on my bucket list!
Thanks for sharing though it looks like you need a wider lens for the B-36

Why is there an ANA Dreamliner? Is this a prototype? Thank you for the huge post. I like the photo tour this museum. It is on my list to see.

Re: Pima Air & Space Museum *Big Update*
Stunning , on my list for a return next year. I had photography problems due to 120oF temps and bright sunlight, in late September! I remember getting a ice gold bottle of weather and pooring it over my head in the shelter of the B-36 and watching it evaporate on the ground. Worth every bead of sweat. More of a pilgrimage than a spotting trip.
Re: Pima Air & Space Museum *Big Update*
Fascinating place, fantastic shots,every aircraft a gem, Wow! Equally rare weather for us brits, yep dreamtime for sure!
