I was there back in September. The inside displays are great. certainly one of the top 5 aircraft museums in the US.

I think it’s only a two week advance notice required to get on one of the two busses that leave the museum daily for the boneyard tour. It’s worth the trouble if you have enough advance planning time. Once in a lifetime experience for anybody with aviation in their blood. I’ll see if I can make the visit, was last there in December.

Looks like they're at 16 Days right now:
https://pimaair.org/plan-your-visit/available-tours/ The boneyard is on an active Air Force base, so they have to do a full background check on every body who visits.

Pima finally put their Ilyushin IL-2 out on display (It's indoors, this was just a better picture.)
 Good thing I'm going down next week. I've been waiting for this one.

I don't think so. The background check is what holds everything up.

I thought this is a controlled tour and you are on some sort of a tram. They can always X ray and check each person for any contraband and weapons. You really not able to run around. My issue is that I can never plan my visits to a date which is why I was asking about drop ins. Anyhow, they can do what they want to. Thanks Isaac
