The Pima Air Museum in Tucson, AZ. Aviation's "Graceland" in the desert.

Yesterday, Hitomi took me to the Pima Air Museum here in glorious Tucson. It's directly behind the Davis-Monthan AFB (the A-10 Graceland). For all you military history and aviation superstars, this thread is for you. I'll post them, you identify them. Extra points awarded if it was your aircraft. The rules are simple, there are none. Enjoy. Uncle Mark

Awesome place. Last there in 1992. Should plan a trip back. My Naval Aviator uncle was there last spring.

Visited Pima last year. Loved every minute of it.

This one blew my mind. The exterior is canvas, and the interior reminds me of my first go-cart! Hint: This is the interior view of the nose.

Too bad we don't have some of these.

I loved going to that place, next time we go we are going to do the whole tour as we did just the inside part the Bomber Building and also the Space building! We also did the DM Boneyard tour that was pretty neat! I did see an OV10 Bronco outside the main building that I actually worked on "years Ago"

This one will be a stumper. There are very few of them around.
