We started the day bright and early for a trip down to Pima Air and Space Museum in Tucson, Arizona. It’s a two hour run and we got there for opening in time for our 10am bus tour around the AMARG Bone Yard – the home for old military planes.
Standing in line (American for queueing) there was a chance to get up and close to a couple of cacti:
We took the bus tour and saw a real range of American military planes. AMARG is an outdoor storage location which works really well in Arizona’s dry desert conditions. The desert is so hard, they don’t need to put anything under the wheels!

We had a quick wander around the Pima museum too:
