These are a series of shots from three cameras taken by Fiona and myself during our month in the states in August to September 09. Many thanks to Tim A for recovering the files from my busted card.
The first section - the first 5 rows - are at the Castle Airforce Museum near Atwater in California. The Aircraft are all out in the open and are sometimes a little the worst for wear - as are all planes left out in the hot sun, I guess.
From then on until virtually the end we move to the Pima Museum in Tucson, although - 8 rows from the bottom of the page - there are some shots of the ajoining "bone yard": rows and rows and rows of planes covered in latex. Over 4000 of them... All of these shots are taken from the inside of the tour coach and suffer slightly because of that.
Other than a shot of San Francisco's Coit tower that crept in, the last three-and-a-half rows or so are external shots back at Castle except for the very last three pictures: they are (in order) the memorial mural in Tonopah, Nevada (site of the F117 test flights amongst others), The Sky Crane at Pima and the toy plane in the roof space of a diner on the waterfront in San Francisco. Well - it's a plane, aint it?
