We went to the Titan II museum today where I got to see the last intact Titan II missile silo (complete with nuclear missile).
This is also where they filmed Star Trek: First Contact, so I got an extra kick out of that.
Oh, by the way, watch for rattlesnakes. |
Afterwards, we went to Taco Bell for lunch (why aren't there more of these in Quebec?) and then headed for the PIMA Air and Space Museum, which is essentially a jillion planes parked inside and outside for my viewing pleasure. Considering I took almost 300 pictures, I'll post the highlights.
The plane in the top right is an old NASA Vomit Comet, and the one on the top left is one of 2 B52's that were modified to launch the X-15 rocket planes. The bottom one my research supervisor suggested I take.
Tomorrow I have some free time, so I may go for a bike ride (there are bikes here). My main deterrent is that I'm the youngest person around for 20 miles in every direction, and elderly drivers are scary.
