I spent three hours in 103+ degree heat wandering around the Pima Air Museum. I had not been here since 2002 and they have really improved the entire museum! My only regret was the 390th Memorial Museum building was closed due to renovation.

Comments are welcome and I have many more to post if asked.

some fairly old canon camera stuff, canon lenses, Manfrotto "thingy", and an M5, also an M6 that has had a 720nm filter bolted onto the sensor:

Always loved the L-049, & you found some strange other birds there.

Thanks, yes, the Connie is one of my favorites and I would love to fly one (not many opportunities out there though). I tried to take as many strange or less than posted aircraft shots. Still have a few more and will post when I get back from my trip.
