The F-14, one of my favorites, and of course good 'ole Big Stud is there.  I wish there would have been a pic of the tail of it showing the 325th markings.

I got to sit in that SR-71 in 1992. Helped a buddie make an after hours delivery from an exhibit. That one was a CIA bird. Guide/historian said the first ones had a problem with tires blowing in the wheel well at speed from the immense heat. Many tires you see on them were white and made of a special compound to prevent this. Imagine landing that with one wheel blown. :O

Nice pics I was at that Museum back in... I wanna say '95 and the collection has expanded greatly since then.  Then I started to recognize the WW2 and WW1 birds from the Chapman Museum that used to be in Arizona that I visited probably around '99.  :)

The Pima Air Museum and the bone yard near it are a must see for anyone interested in this junk!  :aok

The Museum of Flight in Seattle also has periodic panel discussions by WWII pilots -- every 2-3 months they have one.  I've heard and met there numerous aces, pilots of every sort of US fighter, bomber pilots, Avenger pilots, etc., even a Mosquito night-fighter ace, some with amazing stories that have been in books, some with amazing stories that aren't in books.  Authors (such as Barrett Tillman) give talks there occasionally as well.

It's a wonderful museum.
