Thanks for posting. The jetwing was a new one for me. From the angle of your photo I first thought some kind of P-51 air racer, but then there was no prop, so I had to look it up- learn something new everyday..... Also liked the the early B-1.

Very nice set of photos...and excellent photography as well!! I might suggest that they be posted in the "Photo Gallery" of the WIX website.

Two museums I haven't seen many photos of before. Thanks for sharing! Impressed with how complete the jets at Wings Over the Rockies look and that's the first clear photo I remember seeing of the Weisbrod B-29. Cool stuff!

As the resident Bolo nut here, thank you very much for the interesting shot of B-18A 39-025! Are they going back to natural metal on this one and removing the big cargo door?

Hi Guys
Thanks everyone,
Sopwith, A Nikon D3200 I usually shoot with and without the flash, then pick what I consider the best..WOTR's pretty dark in some spots, Pueblo pretty crowded, hard to get a clear shot of anything but I really like museums like Pueblo, things everywhere, like the barbed wire collection, never know what you will see. Nice
Chris, no idea what the future of the B18 is, very crowded around it.

Great pix, I will have to get my Nikon D90 back in operation...soon as I can find a reputable camera repair shop close by.
Did the Pueblo museum ever get a working dog tag machine?

It is nice to see the F-100 at Pueblo repainted from the awful T-Birds scheme it used to have.

The plank wing F-84 still looks good for now.
