Visited here years ago, before the planes were moved. Plane list is from their website.

National Museum of Nuclear Science and Industry
Albuquerque, New Mexico

nuclearmuseum.org

F-105 61-0107
A-7 Bureau # 154-407 ? Not sure on this one.
F-16 78-050
B-29 45-21748
B-47 53-2280
B-52 52-0013
Assorted missles

Serial numbers (except for the A-7) determined by website photos and confirming on Baughter's website.


A MIG-21 is listed on their "map" of the museum, the list of planes in the website does not. I do see one on Google maps.
