Was there about 12 years ago or so, thanks for posting those, that is a great museum.
Another air museum not to be missed is the Hill AFB Museum located right on I-15 between Ogden and Salt Lake City, Utah. A guy could hit that one and the Browning museum in one trip, worth a 300 mile drive to go see.

Lots and lots of aluminum ![[Linked Image]](http://i475.photobucket.com/albums/rr120/hawk_driver/Pima%20Air%20Museum/B-36andB-52.jpg) Awesome pics, thanks for posting the airporn. Isn't the B-36 mostly magnesium?

It is but I thought aluminum would sound better. They had a book in the gift store about the B-36 called Magnesium Overcast.

Your dad and his crew with their old bird. Be sure and thank him for us, everytime you talk to him.

Wonderful post, Amigo !
Musta' been a mite warm on the FEET down there today.
That's one thing about that place,... one to avoid in the scorchier months.
Have you been to Jack's Surplus, on Drexel Road ?

We were there about 10 years ago and it just so happened to coincide with a reunion of the Sentimental Journey (B29) crew. They gave a great presentation and were available afterwards for discussion. It made a great day even better.

Wonderful Hawk...
Someone beat me to the old B 18 Bolo...slang it was called the Dumbo Bombers... one important note in history is that they were the first A/C to have radar mounted on them.. for coastal submarine hunting...
Growing up as an Air Force Dependent, I remember all of those planes from the 50s, when they were serving on active duty...
B47s, B 36s were cool and huge.. remember when they were being replaced by B 52s.. also remember seeing those B 58s pass thru bases we lived on...those were sooooo cool to me as a kid...
it was a real blast watching many of those planes take off down the runway, all engines going and the exhaust out the back...
B 52s and B 36s were fun to watch due to the bounce of their wings....moreso than the B 47s..., which along with the B 58 were two beautiful planes...
Great Air Museum....ditto the one at Hill AFB.....
another really great one is in Merced CA, next to what use to be Castle AFB....real close to old US Hwy 99....
I miss being around airfields with AC always landing and taking off.. the military ones, not airliners...ya know, civilian stuff...

Great pics Hawk. Gotta love that Corsair, man. Just one big azzed engine with a couple bent wings attached. Man, I could spend a month crawling around all those "heavies" and talking to the guys that flew them.

A guy around here who used to fly in the B-36 said those rear-mounted engines were a genuine pita....because when (not if) they'd leak oil it would drift back to the propeller blades and, when at altitude and temps were well below zero those oil droplets would become very hard and they'd fly off the blade tips and pelt the hell outta the fuselage causing mucho damage..
Very nice pix sir..
