Description

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
The Pima Air & Space Museum, located in Tucson, Arizona, is one of the world's largest non-government funded aerospace museums. The museum features a display of nearly 400 aircraft spread out over 80 acres (320,000 m²) on a campus occupying 127 acres (513,000 m²). It has also been the home to the Arizona Aviation Hall of Fame.

Overview

A large number of the museum's aircraft are displayed outside with the remainder located in one of the museum's six display hangars.[1] In addition to the display hangars, the museum has a restoration hangar.

Opened to the public in May 1976 with 48 aircraft then on display, the museum's main hangar houses an SR-71A Blackbird, an A-10 Warthog, a United States Air Force Through the Years exhibit, and a mock-up of a control tower.

The museum is adjacent to Davis-Monthan Air Force Base. The 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group (AMARG), affiliated with the base, also known as the "Graveyard of Planes" or "The Boneyard", is the largest aircraft storage and preservation facility in the world.

The museum acquired 77 acres (31 ha) in January 2021 for the construction of the Tucson Military Vehicle Museum. The new museum will house a large number of mostly land vehicles, including 50 donated by the Imperial War Museum.

Out of a collection of 400 aircraft, these are the most prominent:

Boeing 777
Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress
Boeing B-29 Superfortress
Consolidated B-24 Liberator
Convair B-36J Peacemaker
English Electric Lightning
Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird
Martin PBM Mariner
North American F-107
Aero Spacelines Super Guppy
Boeing 747-100
Boeing 787
Douglas DC-10

In addition to other ephemera, the museum contains the Shuttle Mission Simulator's GNS (Guidance and Navigation Simulator) trainer,
and a full-size mockup of the Solid Rocket Booster.
