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.
