Holly, Benny Pfeiffer and his two buddies and I drove to Tucson to visit the Pima Air and Space Museum today! It's definitely worth the trip down south. If you are ever in town...make sure to check it out.






Enjoy all of the pics!

This was a pilot who flew 28 missions in a B17. He's about to turn 100 years old.



It was amazing to hear him tell about his service... :flag:

That’s awesome Bruce.

If you were to look at the design of that SR-71 during the time, it’s astounding that thing was built when it was.

Why you think my screen name has it in it? A12…predecessor!:scholar::headbang:

Cheers:beers:

Dave, we were talking about that yesterday-and I was going to PM you last night :)


The A12 was really cool, too!

Been here all week working on a 54 Belair and inspecting cars. Now headed to Chino, CA to bid on rewiring a B25 bomber at Aero Trader this weekend. So much for retirement!

Be safe!
