Dear all,
The last two weeks I visited the Mid-West USA, the first stop was at the museum of Hill Afb. (Utah). The outside exhibits are in a poor/bad condition due to the weather conditions/influence, inside it is a different story! The collection is well maintained, but since they have a lot of great stuff: the place is packed! (but very worth well to spend a few hours).
The next stop was at The South Dakota Air and Space Museum (Ellsworth Afb.) near Rapid City. Outside a nice collection, some undergoing restoration at this moment. Inside some small exhibits (not that many aircraft). They offer a base tour and we thought it would be worth to give it a shot, however you don’t get to see any aircraft, you get the opportunity to visit a (decommissioned) missile training facility (quite impressive).
Our last stop was at the Sioux Falls (SD) Air show which had a nice surprise fly by of a B-2 bomber.
Hope you all enjoy the pictures, comments “R” welcome.

Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post. In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.). Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so. |

Interesting report and photos. Thank you for sharing!
I didn't know that Hill had the "Super Sluff" in their collection.

Very nice report; what kind of equipment do you use to take the images?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vought_YA-7F would have been a rather interesting variant indeed. "Strikefighter", but not "Joint"...tomcat604 wrote:I didn't know that Hill had the "Super Sluff" in their collection.
Some eye-catching ICBM-related photos as well!

Thanx for the replay
I use a Canon 50-D with 2 "basic" lenses...... (can't afford the L-stuff, airline tickets "R" to expensive ). One ESF 17-85 and a EF 70-300 (IS/USM)... So I'm sorry for the quality of the pictures.
