January 12, 2010 - Pima Air & Space Museum

Located in Tuscon, AZ, we visited Pima Air & Space Museum the largest aviation and space museum west of the Rockies. Situated on 80 acres of land, this museum features a collection of over 250 aircraft, with four hangers that showcase some of the more rare aircraft in the collection of aviation history. This museum is situated beside Davis Monthan Air Force Base on one side and on the other side an erie aircraft boneyard where they demolish aircraft and turn them into scrape metal. The aircraft boneyard was sprawled out on several hundred acres of land and for miles and miles all you could see were planes. It was an incredible sight! Planes of all types and of all sizes from the Army, Navy, Marines and Airforce. The money, billions upon billions of dollars spent on all of these aircraft, which now sit decomissioned in a graveyard.
