2006-03-24 Pima Air and Space Museum 09
We passed Pima Air and Space Museum. Andrew was really excited about this, so we checked it out. This place is pretty cool! They have everything you can imagine about flight, from a full scale replica of the "Wright Flyer", the first airplane by Orville and Wilber Wright, through many designs and models of flying machines that had marginal success, lots of actual planes and even some NASA planes that worked with the space shuttle. They had a few Air Force One planes, one that was restored that was used by J. F. Kennedy and Johnson. They also have a Harrier jet, an SR71, the fastest plane in the world, an F-14 Tomcat, B-52 Bombers and lots and lots more. We kept saying (about our friend Phil Castle), "Phil would love this, Phil would love this". This place is a must see for anyone interested in aviation.
