Another Trip to Pima

[murphyaa]

Guess where I went today?


A-10's were out flying. Hope I don't get too distracted


We start in Hanger 1:

Westland Lynx


McCulloch HUM-2


Huey


Tomcat


They use this for moving planes around. I thought it would make a cool model


Nope. Not distracted


Kaman Seasprite


An old friend


Dad doesn't think this is an SR-71


A weird friend


Columbia XJL-1


Gyrodyne QH-50 DASH


Inner workings of an aerial torpedo

Next post, we go to Hanger 2

[murphyaa]

On the way to hanger 2:


Cessna O-2 Skymaster


Culver Cadet


Obligatory Hurricane shot


B-24


Can't remember the name, but it's yellow.


This one is blue and yellow


This one is gray


I like this. Watch out for a model of it. McDonnell LBD-1 Gargoyle


Fritz


Morane-Saulnier MS-500 CRIQUET


P-39


Oscar


P-63


P-51


Not a Corsair


Mig 15


F-86


Wildcat

Next post, we get to wander around outside.

[murphyaa]

Now we're outside:


Piper U-11 Aztec


Piper Blue Canoe


Northrop YC-125 Raider


Artsy-fartsy planes


Anybody know what this is?


How about this one?


Mystery plane in the foreground, C-22 Spartan in the background


I think somebody is building or restoring a pod racer


Snow S-2A


This is what I'm waiting for. Catalina on the pad, and the Privateer just sticking it's nose out in the hanger.


Boeing 727 (the side engines are off)


Sikorsky Baby Clipper, and a Lockheed Constellation


C-82 Packet


Grumman Albatross


North American Sabreliner

Lots of planes outside, so on to the next post.

Outside part 2:


This should look familiar


Old Shaky. Dang it's big


Stoof!


With a roof!


Damn that's an ugly plane


Government Aircraft Factory Nomad


Avro Shackleton


B-23 Dragon butt. (The full view didn't turn out)


It's just big boned.


Grumman Gulfstream II or as I call it "Les bait"


Somebody put this one's wings on backwards


B-52


2 stealth B-52's


Quail. I've gotten a few requests for a model of this, but can't find 3-views.

Outside Part 3:


Tweet


Folland Gnat


A-10!! Oops, where was I...

...Oh, yeah


T-28


Fouga Magister


Looking over the shoulder of a Mig-19 as it prepares to fire on some unsuspecting tourists. Or the B-47.


Brain fart! Can't remember what this one is called.


Sikorsky Pelican (I think)


Sikorsky S-51's


I kept expecting this one to transform and start shooting people. It didn't.


"You're nothin' but a Hind-dog"


Another old (and tired) friend


More F-86's


F-94 Starfire


This place has a lot of Harriers and Kestrals

[rickstef]

your USCG jet is the HU-25 Falcon

and your german jet looks like an Alpha Jet

and it is the Sikorsky Pelican, H-52

[murphyaa]

Outside part 4:


A-10!! Oops


Another Kestral


Duck inside for a B-17


And a jeep with a handy solution for rushhour traffic


F-11 Tiger


F-111


Mig 23


Good advice for paper modelers


Midget Mustang (II)


Mohawk


With all the Bronco talk lately...


DF-8 Crusaider


A-10!! Dammit

Back inside to get away from any 30mm distractions.


Lockheed Electra


Curtiss O-52 Owl


This is a land speed record car, fittingly called "Claustrophobia"

And on that note:

(I barely survived the gift shop)

There were 2 mystery USCG Jets. Thought they could both be the same model. The jury is still out.

[rickstef]

I was thinking they are both the same, but the first one is the Falcon

[murphyaa]

aah. And I already have a model of that, so I'm off the hook.
