Default Pima Air Museum

Going to visit it today as we were too late yesterday. Drove north by accident and saw some strange looking planes at the air force base.

Better be off!

You will love the Pima Air Museum. One of the few where you can touch and feel. A lot of cool stuff there too.

If you think those planes look strange, you should have seen the guys who flew them!

Love Pima, did a little photo project there a few years back. Looking forward to returning one day.

World Airways had one for their President/CEO near where I grew up, and it was a frequent visitor at local airshows.

Plus, it's obviously a DC-3 with a skinny fuselage.
