Finally got here. The last 100 miles were a nightmare; huge rainstorm and nobody knows how to drive in the rain in and around Phoenix.

I stopped at the Pima Air & Space Musuem on the way in. I spent a couple hours in there and took lots of pictures. I uploaded a half-dozen.

I'm liking that F-86. What a beautiful aircraft.

That GAU-8's impressive, but in a completely different way. Just a brute of a gun. And it can shoot 20 for record in .3077 seconds. Can't make weight, though . . .
 
Nice pics, Denys. I didn't know they had a DR-1 along with the SR-71. Very cool.
It's a D-21. Yes, the last time I saw one was at the museum in Seattle about 25 years ago. It was on top of an SR-71. That was fake, of course, since they only ever mounted them on an M-12 (converted A-12). They lost the plane and the drone on their first attempt and never tried again.

I have a lot more pics of the Pima museum, but I only uploaded 6. Maybe I'll upload more at some point. That museum is fantastic. We'll worth the stop.

I added 66 pictures for today, Tricky day, mirage out in force. Mud everywhere. Super day.

Congrats to the winners.

I plan to take pictures of all award ceremonies in the order they are presented. I will not caption the pictures.

I also added more pics from Pima.

Day 3 pictures added. Tomorrow is team matches and I will have a lot more pictures of the various teams. We might even see some F-Open folks in the pictures.

Today was windy, switchy and just plain fun. Congrats to all the winners.

If you’re ever in Ohio… the Air Force museum in Dayton is unbelievable! Was there two full days and still didn’t see everything!
