I can't find a website for this place. Does it even exist? If so what are the hours of operation?


Mike, this is at Hollister Airport as you list. The New Standard is apart for rebuild, but I can put you in touch with the museum's curator if you know what day you plan to stop in there? He may be able to show you a few other local planes that are in nearby hangars. There are also two Russian Mi-2 helicopters that you can't miss on the ramp along with CDF tankers.


I'll send you a PM. Thanks Roger.

Yep, I am aware...

...and by coincidence it will be the first place I visit as I am flying into San Francisco. I won't get to it until first thing the next morning. Is fog a regular thing in the mornings in San Francisco in September?

Check out the link I povided to Roger. There is indeed a T-39 there. I don't know if it is in view to the public, but if it is I will take a photo.
