A look back 20 years ago: Touring the Pima Air & Space Museum and the best aircraft salvaged from the Boneyard

This is a nice video taken in 1993, the first time my wife and I visited the Pima Air And Space Museum in Tucson, Arizona, and located just outside the military's aircraft retirement facility, affectionately referred to as the desert "boneyard."  Many of the aircraft uniquely included in this museum came from the boneyard, and were more than likely rolled across the street and into the hard packed desert, fenced in area of the museum.  Slowly, through the years, the museum restoration staff have restored many of these aircraft, including many of the planes you will see in this footage, that still have the white protective wrap on the winshields, intakes, etc.

This museum is a must see for any aviation and military aircraft enthusiast.  Click below for a short tour.

Pima Air and Space Museum Walking Tour

More information on the Pima Air and Space Museum pulled from the museum's website: The Pima Air & Space Museum is one of the largest aviation Museums in the world, and the largest non-government funded aviation Museum in the United States. The Museum maintains a collection of more than 300 aircraft and spacecraft from around the globe, including many rare and one-of-a-kind, and more than 125,000 artifacts. Here you will walk among the giants of our aviation heritage, including military, commercial, and civil aviation. Among them are a B-29 Superfortress, the SR-71 Blackbird, and a rare World War II German V-1 "buzz bomb."  The collection includes President John F. Kennedy's Air Force One, and presidential aircraft used by president's Nixon and Johnson. The Museum has five large hangars totaling more than 177,000 feet of exhibit space. In addition, the 390th Bombardment Group (Heavy) Memorial Museum is located on the Museum grounds. Pima Air & Space maintains its own aircraft restoration center, and is also proud to offer exclusive tours of the Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group (AMARG), also known as the "Boneyard," located across the street at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base.

Most Unique Never-to-be-seen again Military Heritage Flight: F-15 Eagle and Glasair III

Watch this very unique and never to be seen again Heritage Flight of an F-15 Eagle and a civilian Glasair III.  Before strict restrictions were put on military Heritage Flights and formations were limited to the individual jet demonstration pilots and a very select few accomplished pilots who own and fly ex-military warbirds, such as P-51's, P-38's, P-40's, and Navy Corsairs to name a few, Chip Beck, a Phoenix, Arizona based aerobatic pilot, was able to sneak a Heritage Formation flight in with the F-15 East Coast Demonstration pilot.  The demonstration took place on Sunday, March 8, 1998 at Phoenix-Mesa, Gateway Airport (then Williams Gateway Airport), while the two were performing at the Cox Communications Air & Motor Spectacular.  Watch and listen to this unique flyby!
