| Pima Air & Space Museum
Please excuse the cross-post -- I am a newbie and posted this in the wrong section.
The Pima Air & Space Museum is a jewel for Military Aircraft devotees:
Two hangars are dedicated to WWII aircraft and include a B-17, B-24, B-25, B-29 (2), C-47, etc. along with a growing exhibit of fighter aircraft. The latest addition is a fully restored German V1 "Doodlebug" complete with its transporter -- FIESELER Fi103-A1 (V-1) HOELLENHUND SERIAL NUMBER 121536 http://www.pimaair.org/images/stories/buzzbomb_med.jpg
Following is a truly marvelous gallery of photographs that I am sure every enthusiast will enjoy: http://unicycling.smugmug.com/gallery/146897 |

| Living in the Nashville area sucks as far as major aviation museums. The Staggerwing and Sevierville museums are relativly close but they are very small and expensive for what they have. The closest large museum in my area is the museum at Warner Robbins in Georgia and thats still 6 hours away.

Country:  | I'm more or less in the same boat as you, Curzon. I live fairly close to two or three small aviation museums, but the closest decent ones (in Canada that is) are in Ontario, no less than a good 13 to 14 hour drive from here. | |

Country:  | of course with your lancaster loving sidekick  well, wouldn't want you going off on your own thinking that perhaps some of the non-british planes were perhaps better than ours
