On June 15, the AZBAA members from Phoenix took a bus bus trip and fly in to the Davis Monthan Airforce Base Boneyard and Pima Air Museum in Tucson, AZ. We had 2 great docents that could supply the history of every airplane on the premises. The pictures above are just a sample of what we saw.

We were fortunate that the new NASA orbital space capsule was making its way east and stopped in Tucson for the day. I was very disappointed in the technology. It seems we are going backwards in time. The capsule holds 4, is not reusable and can only land on water. Sound familiar?

A meeting was held at lunch for the 50 in attendance and a good time had by all.
