Thanks

During our recent USA trip my wife and I visited the Castle Air Museum on our way from San Francisco to Yosemite National Park. The museum is located in a corner of the former SAC base near the town of Atwater and displays some 70 aircraft. All the aircraft are based outside and that shows through f...

Very nice pics! Quite a lot of variety overthere.

That is a cool museum. Yes that B720 is awesome but I like the Argus as well.
Great angle on that CF-116 pic.

During a two day visit I noted the following airframes: NB-52A 52-0003 US Airforce (being restored) B727-22 N7004U United Airlines WB-57F N925NA NASA C-97 XA-PII AeroPacifico (forward fusalage only) SP-2H 150281/LZ-11 US Navy Mirage 3RS R-2107 Swiss Airforce Saab RF35 AR-116 Danish Airforce F-16A 80...

hele mooie serie! Heb je er bezwaar tegen als ik een / twee van je CH-46 foto's gebruik voor een nieuwsitem op de site?
Ze hebben n.l. allemaal al een civiele regie.
Hoor graag,

Thanks. Must have been a case of wishful thinking.

The last week of our holiday took us to Tucson where we visited the Pima museum on 4 and 5 September. Of course this is well known museum with a vast collection of fascinating aircraft. The restauration part also houses a wide variety of aircraft but is off limits to the public. When I explored the ...

Nice! One small correction (just from photo, never have been there...): the fighter on the left of the Sabreliner in the last picture is NOT a former Dutch T-33; it's a former Swedish Saab Lansen in my humble opinion... Googling a bit matches A-32A N5468X/32209. Thank you very much Frank! You are a...

Mojave is of course best known for its storage facilities. After we admired the little airpark at the entrance (see yesterday's post) we moved on to the platform. There is a nice little restaurant with an excellent view on the storage platforms. You can even go outside and walk around on the platfor...

Thanks Erik. And thanks Robert for the correction.

Hi.
Thanks for the additional comments and information. We saw a lot of aviation history that day so indeed a day well spent.

My wife and I have just returned from a three week holiday in the west of the USA. On 25 August we had to drive from Bakersfield to Las Vegas and we decided to make a few deviations from the route and visit Mojave Air and Space port, Palmdale and Edwards AFB. At Mojave we passed a small memorial air...
