Between flights the other day I dropped in on neaby Hill Air Force Base. They have an aerospace museum there that I hadn't visited in probably 15 years. It's more impressive than I remembered and wished I had more than my camera phone with me to prove it.Displays included Thunderchiefs, Phantoms, Eagles, Hornets, Falcons as well as an assortment of helicopters, cargo lifters, bombers (including the B-1 and the venerable giant B-52) and let's not forget that greatest of all jets - SR-71. I'll have to go back and take some photos when I'm not in such a rush. They close a little early but it's hard to fault an all volunteer staff operating an admission free facility for wanting to keep hours short.
Pictured here are a "Huskie" and a Sikorsky "Jolly Green Giant" both Vietnam era choppers that made impressive displays.
