This is the wrap up of our tour of the museum. It’s such an interesting way to spend the day.
There are hundreds of airplanes to gaze at, bringing back memories of the toys you had as a kid and the planes you rode in your youth. So, here we go with another batch of pics. And we’re back inside another large building. There are 5 of these buildings scattered around the grounds. Inside there are the occasional docents that can give you a run down of some individual aircraft which is interesting.
There are lots of warplanes. There are some experimental and private aircraft of course as you’ve seen, but the majority are warplanes. And then we head outside to catch our tram for a tour of the grounds. 
There is a restoration team at work all the time here restoring donated aircraft. This one was in the back yard area. Most of the team is/are volunteers. I suggested John might do that because he was a VN era aircraft mechanic but he just shrugged.
I wasn’t able to understand much of what the tram driver was saying over the audio system because of my poor hearing, but just seeing the various planes was fun enough.
After that tram tour (which costs $8 extra over the entrance price) when passing back through the main building and this reproduction of the Wright Bros plane is just sooo interesting I got another shot of it. Amazing that humans went from this aircraft to landing on the moon in just 70 years.
And that was the end of our visit to the museum. Hope you enjoyed. Next time we went to a military base that used to allow tours but shut it down a few years ago. We can only take pictures from outside the chain link fence. What they do is rebuild and repair military aircraft to put them back into service if needed.
If you’re ever in the Tucson area I highly recommend staying a few days at any of the many RV parks and touring this museum. The County fairgrounds is close to this museum and has RV spaces.
Thanks for visiting!
