USA Road Trip - Day 5 - Tucson: Pima Air & Space and AMARG A blog attempt
Our first stop today was the PIMA Air & Space Museum. In this airplane museum about 300 aircraft are on display, from small self-made airplanes to Super Guppy and B-52 Stratofortress. We are limited a letter to momo in the hotel on a short (but by U.S. standards very good) breakfast, so we can make it in time for the opening of the museum in order to make optimal use of the time when we leave for the original plan at the latest by 13 clock to Mount Lemmon wanted. 5 minutes a letter to momo before opening quite a long queue had already formed outside the entrance. A short time later showed up at the box office, that not only were we among other reasons so early to ensure the best seats for one of the AMARG tours, because a letter to momo when we were finally off the list of participants was already well filled. Together with our tickets a letter to momo we bought also the Tucson a letter to momo Attractions Passport. This booklet for $ 18 each should look at it, who has planned to spend a few days in Tucson. Here at the museum we got so 2 tickets for the price of one, saving equal to the first $ 15.50. Until the bus tour went off on the AMARG grounds, we had just got about 2 hours of time to explore the museum. As it was already very warm and the temperatures rose every minute, we started with the outside. Enumerate each issued individually plane, beyond the scope, a letter to momo it is referred to the above-linked list. I want to write only one machine on display a bit more, because it has stayed with me for some reason, especially in the memory. Maybe because she was a bit off, maybe because we saw later in the AMARG Tour still the second prototype and our tour guide has something raved. Or because I just stayed the characteristic engine assembly in memory. I'm talking about the Boeing YC-14, an experimental transport aircraft, which end of the '70s was planned as a replacement for the C-130 Hercules. Especially impressive I found the required runway length for takeoff and landing. With reduced load - after all, still 12.2 tonnes - were only 305m (unloaded even only 180m) and 360m needed for takeoff and landing. Despite good test results in the test flights but it never came to mass production, as the program a letter to momo is set for a change of government and concomitant reductions in the military budget in 1977 and was finally a letter to momo completed in 1979. As a conclusion of the exhibition, I can only say: Exciting, overwhelming extensive, but too hot in May. We were glad about every larger wing, in the meantime some shade offered and the rows of aircraft towards the end are also disposed of only more or less quickly. During our tour, I was unfortunately also the phone call that would change a letter to momo our daily routine. We had booked tickets for the event at Mount Lemmon Skynights Obversatorium for afternoon and evening. Due to bad weather at 2900m altitude but this had to be canceled, which we then brought forward spontaneously to visit the Titan Missile Museum. More on this later. After we were done with the exterior, we had some more time to look at the exhibition in the hangar before we went to the meeting place for the AMARG tour.

I save now for a more detailed explanation, data hamster that has done it in detail in his blog post to their Boneyard tour. If you want to know more will find it at Wikipedia. Before it could go but, standing at the obligatory passport control and we had foreign a letter to momo ashamed diligently. a letter to momo Of course, there were other German tourists who loudly complained itself on the Prohibition of backpacks and the controls. Dear people, if you do not like the conditions of the tour on an active military base, then take but please just not part of it! I found it remarkable that such a tour at the galloping terror paranoia is even possible at all. The passport control then was limited to a short presentation by checking off the name in the participant list. Also at the entrained not very small SLR, there was nothing a letter to momo to complain about. And even if your country, their rules. After we were seated in the air-conditioned bus, greeted us our tour guide, one of the many volunteers who can be found here in any museum. First, we have been 'taught' a letter to momo that the staff of the military base the term "Boneyard" not like
