• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

If you are wandering out Arizona-way, you really ought to stop in here! You can also tour the Bone Yard "across-the-street" at Davis-Monthan. If you have another day, mosey on over to Green Valley and visit the only remaining Titan launch complex (underground). Better be sure you have at least a 4 GB card and lotsa batteries!

I was stationed at DM for 9yrs....problem was, I wasn't really into photography back then....:isadizzy:
 
My, they have really cleaned up the aircraft parking area since the last time I was there, around 1990.

Excellent shot.

I had a camera with me, used a couple rolls of film. Some of the pics are actually useable.

The main thing was seeing some of the actual aircraft a lot of us remember from history, such as the all aluminum B-52, which is one of the X-15 mother ships, as well as the X-15B/C. The XF-107, 2 of NASA's "Vomit Express" negative G/Zero Gravity aircraft, and many more that I can't remember. And a lot of these used to be open, so you could look thru the interiors, bomb bays, and gear wells.
 
I've got to scan all my photos from two trips there into digits some day.

It's a great place to visit and if you've got time, there are also other great attractions to visit like the movie set town, Old Tucson, the Sonora Desert Museum and a couple of National Parks in the area.
