Those hornets taking off from nearby Davis-Monthan AFB @ 3:12 are RCAF CF-18s that were here for an 8 week training exercise. On another note, love the video and how it showcases all the wonderful planes in Pima’s collection. Very proud to say some of the last remaining, one of a kind, or simply awe inspiring aircraft are displayed here in Tucson. Great video!
I was there a couple months back, while I was there the local air force base was running some drills so I got to see the f22’s fly over head, also right down the road is a missile silo with a decommissioned Nuclear missle
fun fact :as you guys not know , the first 787 prototype is chilling inside the “flight of dreams” museum in Chubu Centrair international Airport in Nagoya, Japan
I seen the plane when I was going to Hong Kong from Nagoya. But I didn’t really go on it cuz I was in a rush to get on the plane. Remembered I got Starbucks and seeing it in T2 I think
Thanks for the trip down memory land. Worked on many of those aircraft, flew in a few of them. Spent time at Davis-Monthan, picking parts. Very hot base and work! Amazing place though. Glad the museum is saving some history. Too many get destroyed.
Sure is crazy, absolutely massive facility. Worth a visit, just don’t go in the summer, this footage is from February and I was still burning up outside 😂
The 747 - 100 had a different livery since it was used to test the thrust power of the GE90, the engines that were used on the 777. It was vey powerful, in fact the 747 could fly with only one of those engines!
The 707, DC10, 747SP, Connie, B52, the 777 and 787 flashed me fr but what flashed me the most really is the 747-100! Incredible condition. She really looks like she is ready to take off immediately. All the other planes as well. Love them all
Very cool Sikorsky S-43 (labeled US Marines) in the background at 8:20. Last time I was there it was in bad shape and missing a wheel. Only 3 left and too bad this one is left out in the sun. Kermit Weeks has Howard's at his museum in Florida.
That plane was completely overhauled and was close to flyable condition, but when the Air Force found out about the intentions for it to fly again they seized the engines and took the plane apart and sent it to where it is now.
@@hubriswonk Not quite. It sat in pieces for years at Air Force Plant #4 where it was originally built on the west side of Fort Worth, Texas. It's the home of B-24, B-32, B36, B-58, F-111, F-16 and now the F-35. I had the fortune of building the F-16 there for 37 years. And just as an aside, the B-52 is no where near as big as the B-36. The B-36 wingspan is 45 feet longer than the BUFF. I worked on that D model B-52 in the museum when I was stationed at Carswell AFB. The B-52 on which you commented about engines is actually a B-52G, which had P&W J57 engines, NOT TF-33s.
@williamhudson4938 very interesting and thanks for your response! I was told they were making it flightworthy again and the USAF got really upset and took the plane to Prima.
I remember being a passenger on B-HNL back in 2008. We were flying back to Canada from Manila via HK. They had weird looking straws for the drinks and i still have it to this day.
I work at Heathrow Airport(LHR) as a pushback driver. I work for a company called Dnata, it was great to see the Cathay Pacific and ANA Airplanes, as I work on those contracts. I have been there 27 years, and had the pleasure of watching Concorde take off and land daily, wow what a noise. Thank you for the video it was a pleasure to watch it.
And to all of you that will make it down here someday, do NOT forget to drive a few miles south of Tucson, just north of Green Valley, and visit the Titan Missile Museum, a pretty fascinating facility...
If this comment gets hearted by ice711 or you reply, i will reveal what video I'm planning to make (it's taking too long, i just started it just a day ago)
Yo, I was just here, Super cool! Also, there were a bunch of military aircraft doing flybys while i was there. I saw 5 a-10s and a harrier jet! Overall, great video! 😊
I’ve been here before. 2018 to be exact. I tried to get a private tour of Pinal Airpark (between here and Phoenix) like I’d seen many videos of people doing online. However, I was disappointed there wasn’t any tours available that day. I was trying to see Delta’s 747-400s before scrapping (retired the year before) and stuff like the TWA 747-100, 747-300s, and some Northwest 747s & DC-10s. Luck was on my side as the plane I was looking for was parked at the gate next to the parking lot (pfp). Incredibly, in the best luck I’ve ever had, I met a retired Northwest and Delta Pilot who flew one of the 747s stored there as his retirement flight. He had made his final flight a year before in 2017 and coincidentally took the same flight and decided the time I was there to look at the last bird he used to fly with his family. I don’t think I’ll ever have that luck again! We got to talking and he recommended Pima Air & Space Museum where he was going next. Safe to say it was amazing. Truly a rememberable day for me! Still some amazing aircraft here and turned out better even though I missed out on some rare classics. Hard to believe it’s already been 6 years since I was here! Thanks for the video!
For future reference, another fantastic museum to go to is called The Museum of Flight, it's up in Tukwila, WA. It is right next to KBFI, or Boeing Field and makes for a fantastic plane spotting area. It has the 3rd 787 ever built, the first 747-100, and the first 737.
Nah you have the option to book a team tour where you can learn the history, or just walk around at your own leisure which I found better since the tram doesn’t go everywhere.
I grew up in Tucson and my parents still live there. The news reported on the arrival of the 777 (back in 2017 maybe? - I forget the actual date). But I drove over to the pima air and space museum the night they closed Valencia road to tow this across the street into the museum. If you are ever in Tucson, you should definitely check out the Pima air and Space Museum, its amazing
I went here in July of 2023 during a cross country road trip. This was an amazing experience to see. Good job on the vid, and thanks for bringing memories back.
10:37 Actually, the German aerospace institution is called the DLR, the "Deutsches Luft- und Raumfahrtzentrum". SOFIA is the name of the program, Stratospheric Obvservatory For Infrared Astronomy (it says so beneath the SOFIA on the plane).
4:29 NH B787 sister ships and 11:42 CX B777-200 sisterships one can find them in MNL T3 besides this location from 2011-2019. Flights your looking for are NH819 NRT-MNL orignally NH949/950 alongside CX907,901,903,913,919,939 where this can happen in MNL. What needs to be preserved here alongside B-HNL LN1 B777 is N774UA LN 2 B777-200 PW4090 engine. Back to the MNL example only ICN-MNL guaranteed PW4090 B777 route to or from MNL. That one uses B777-200s B777-300 classics built from 1999-2013 by KE/OZ. At a push both ICN/HKG-MNL T1/T3 get GE90-115Bs to subsitute out PW4090/Trent 800s
9:55 One amazing fact that we all know of NASA SOFIA! Back when she flee for UNITED she was painted in the BATTLESHIP GREY livery. INFACT she was the only 747SP EVER TO WESR THE BATTLESHIP GREY LIVERY!
The B-52 you showed first is a B-52G, it is not powered by 8 TF-33's it is powered by 8 Pratt & Whitney J57-P-43WB engines, they went to the TF-33 in the B-52H for more power, better fuel economy and greater payload. these were all retired in the mid 90's, the B-52H is now getting the TF-33's replaced by R&R F130 engines. We have a Connie here in on the East Coast of Australia, at the HARS Museum in Illawarra, it actually still occasionally flies also.
If you visit, be SURE to check out the Titan Missile Museum, which is nearby.. lots of good videos here about it. Titan II nuclear missile base preserved as a museum, the only one remaining. Impressive as hell.. like Pima.
Thanks for the visit and the highlight!
No problem, you too!
Amazing museum btw

I am trying to do that with my future airline, but all planes

The 707, DC10, 747SP, Connie, B52, the 777 and 787 flashed me fr but what flashed me the most really is the 747-100! Incredible condition. She really looks like she is ready to take off immediately. All the other planes as well. Love them all
Sr71 was probably one of the most rare things there
I saw a B-52, SR-71, DC-3, A-10, 2 Concordes not in action but I did see an A400M (RAF), Lufthansa A340-300 and the 757 you flown on in 2019 2 times

Not necessarily the rarest. Beside the SR71, there was the cancelled F107 super Sabre. Only 3 were built and it was cancelled because it was expensive
