My dad and I did this 15 ish yrs ago. Before drones?! Ha! He was a WWII in the Pacific, and outside of that a Pilot for a bit. We had a blast..and the Surface of the Sun Hot ! Thanks for the walk thru.
Thanks for the recent tour of Pima. It looks like quite a few more exhibits were added since I was there 18 yrs ago. FYI, blades on a helicopter are called rotor blades. Propellers are on airplanes. Oh yeah, when that pipe leaks the wheels fall off 😅
13:58 I believe that gentleman was a B-17 crewman during WW2. I met him when I was there. Bought his book. He signed it for me. I thanked him for his service.
@@zflogo Yes....totally amazing when you think about what they went through. At the end of the movie Memphis Belle they give the statistics on just how many flight crew never made it back. I felt emotional just talking to the man. Things could have turned out a lot different for him. My father was part of the island hopping campaign at the end of the war.
Amazes me how people don't know period aircraft.
A little tough on the ears.
Pima is amazing - I go there every visit to Tucson. Well worth the time.
Been there a couple of times, one of the best air museums! You almost need a couple of full days to take your time and do it justice!
The Super Guppy was originally created for the Apollo moon programme to carry some of the completed stages of its Saturn V rockets.
No wonder it is so giagoondous
Great museum by the looks of things. Too bad that these jokers don't know much about aircraft. Four and a half stars regardless.
Was there in 1978. Saw a Librator bomber

7:05 I sent that aircraft from Carswell AFB, TX (Fort Worth, TX) in 1983. The Crew Chief's name is still on it. (Not me.)

Thanks. I know little to nothing about aircraft.
Such huge museum!
I was there about 10 years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it!
You walked right by some of the most incredible and important aircraft in history and didn’t even give them a second look! 🙄
Well i didnt know. There was so much to look at. You could spend days there!

You are correct. We spent a bit of time with him. He was a great host and had amazing story’s!
