March Field air Museum

To celebrate Gordon's birthday we went to a place he has been wanting to go for a long time, the March Field Air Museum. Gordon is a pilot and likes airplanes..... so he was in heaven here!

Captive, reading the history of the activities of each airplane before they were bought here.
Airplanes here have play and important role in history.

This is the B-17 that flew in Europe with England dropping
bombs over Germany

B-25 Mitchell. Same type of airplane in the Doolittle raid on Japan.
They flew the plane off an aircraft carrier to bomb Japan a few months after Pearl Harbor.

Early fuel air tanker

SR-71. Fastest thing in the sky -- or used to be.

This is the largest airplane. Longest serving aircraft the US still uses -- B-52

Gordon looking inside

Atomic bombs were carried inside here before dropped

Gordon did ride in one of this kind when he was in aviation school at PUC
