So, yeah, spent the afternoon there with the family.
B1b and my daughter. While not the best 'purchase' aesthetically it has always been one of my favorites.
Nice silhouette.
Money shot.
But don't worry Shep, I have your back;
B52
Good shot of the nose.
Not SAC, so turn your back.
But Knife? You ask, what do those B52's carry?
But what type of bombs are those?
Ok, so the B52's didn't carry them...
This did though.
Tail guns
Whole tail section.
Along the right wing to the cockpit.
Some odds and ends;
Globemaster if I'm not mistaken.
P38
Nose art B17
B24
We've come a long way to my Vulcan 900.

This brings back memories. I haven't been to there in so long. I always enjoyed those visits. Thanks for posting these.

Yeah, I go about every five or so years it seems. They keep making it better, though they used to have an SR-71 I really loved and it's gone.
Here's some more goodies;
B17 tail gunner
Waist guns of the B17
Ball turret. Good view but shitty job.
Another shot of the P38.
F4, duh!
This is a model of the trinity device they apparently made for the movie "Oppenheimer" as a prop and then the Museum got a hold of it. Neat looking thing.
The family in front of the MASH helicopter, nomenclature escapes me at the moment.
Old school ambulance.
Probably won't see these jeeps at Moab.
Only decent picture of the A26 that I got. Black didn't show up well.

No. 10: Bell 47 OH-13 Sioux
Manufacturer: Bell Helicopter
Type: General Utility Helicopter
Powerplant: One Lycoming V0-435-A1B 6-Cylinder Engine
Principal Armament: Two 7.62-mm Machine Guns
Carrying Capacity: 2 Medical Litters or 1,000-pound Cargo
Maximum Cruising Speed: 83 mph
The first of many U.S. Army helicopters to be named after Native American tribes, the Bell 47 Sioux was distinctive for its bubble canopy, exposed welded-tube tail boom and saddle fuel tanks. Its two-bladed rotor made a "chop-chop" sound, leading to the nickname "chopper" for helicopters. Easily recognizable for its appearances in the smash hit film and television series MASH, the Sioux earned its reputation during the Korean war -- the conflict in which helicopters first cut their teeth.

Last bunch of shots are all blurred or had a crazy high ISO - I'd recommend using a flash next time you come there next decade
