planeflyer21 Posted February 21, 2015 Author Report Posted February 21, 2015 Very cool brother Jon. When you make it out here, we'll hit the Pima Air Museum and AMARC tour. Like living next to Disney Land for me.
unforgiven Posted February 21, 2015 Report Posted February 21, 2015 I'd like that alot brother,went here with the wife and had an officer give us a tour : http://roadsidegeorgia.com/site/mightyeighth.html they had a simulator that let you swing a 50 cal. around to electronic targets.You don't realize how much weight there is to swing.Another eye opener was a closeup of what shrapnel was made of in AA fire.

washguy Posted February 22, 2015 Report Posted February 22, 2015 That warms my heart ....the B52 is my favorite. Both of my uncles flew them. My uncle G is the one that still flies his King Air. My Great uncle A. J. Beck commanded Offutt the SAC base that had the plane called "looking glass" I think it was called that? stayed airborne all the time in case of war before there were sats. He was also inspector general at one time for SAC....he also tought me how to fistfight and gave me mt first black eye at the tender age of 12...ill never forget this great man and always love the B52 :) Wash http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A._J._Beck
98Z5V Posted February 22, 2015 Report Posted February 22, 2015 Damn ok thanks Worth a detour, or a "missed flight" brother - believe me. <thumbsup> Or, maybe we can't hit that in April - that just means we need to get you back out here in October or November... <lmao> We'll help you look for the new house, for your move here... :banana:

A full day for sure. And that's not even counting the Titan Missile Mueseum, run by the same folks. Very good insight into the cold war.
