Have fun! Im not sure if you have ever been there or not. The place is awesome!!! Make sure you check out the 390th Museum. Are you going to drive by the bone yards?? Take a box of kleenex....its sad!

Hi Chris,
I'd like to see closeups of the nose glass and radome of the B-18B, and shots inside the cockpit of the VC-118, especially the pilot and copilot's seats and windows and the flight engineer's station (if you can enter the cockpit - can you?). Thanks a million!

B-36!

Any P-51's that they have, Thanks

B-36!

Boy, I sure concure with that one! Could we get one of NASA's B52 too, PLEASE.

Good list you guys. I don't think we can get inside any of the aircraft even with the connections we have there but we also will be strolling through the restoration facility. Give me a day or so and I'll try to get the requests up ASAP. Everything else I'll post over time. Col. Rohr, I will try to get as many of the early jets with their serial numbers for you. We won't have time for the DM tour but I've been their before and you're right, It puts knots in your stomach. Windows Live Local can take you to any part of the world like Google Earth. Check out the birds eye view of the boneyard. Cut up Buffs right alongside of the next ones to go under the blade. It just hit me, Hey Chris Brame, is the VC-118 the Presidential plane? If so, I think they do guided tours of the interior.

Despite the huge selection of planes they do have, I don't think they have any Mustangs...
I can think of 3 Air Force owned Mustangs that sit out in the cold here in the Upper Midwest that I am sure would enjoy the warmer climes and revel in the thought of possibly being displyed indoors in the Arizona desert but then again so would I, since it is -12F here right now.... Brrr

They do have a P-51 in their restoration facility that is down to the center section getting reskinned et. al.

That's the one - I hope they let you into the cockpit and don't have some big piece of Plexiglass over it that reflects the camera flash. Thanks again!

Do you happen to know the S/N for this bird? TIA

Oh well, always thinking of the P-51's. Its a almost chilling 39 here in Texas....72 deg in the room though...

Thanks for the info,

Lynn

If you get a chance, see if you can get a couple of big, bright, quality shots of the F4U-4 Corsair (in Hangar 4 I believe). Thanks!
