Here is a link to info regarding the Puma Air Museum, Davis-Monthan AFB "Aircraft Boneyard" and the Titan Missile Museum. They are all worth visiting.

Tucson has many options for great Mexican food.

FlightSafety Intl. has a Learjet Training Center on the airport. If you stop by there the staff would gladly give you a tour.

Enjoy your visit.

Also to note that you are in close distance to Mirana Air Park where all of the old airliners go to soak up the sun. Lots of parks and caves to explore. You will be 1 1/2 from Nogales Mexico and close distance to Tombstone about an hour and a half also to the east. There are two small casinos in the area also.

There is old Tomestone if you are interested. Many of the old westerns were shot there. Marana while interesting is next to impossible to get onto. There are several aecurity conscience operators on the airport and the gate is at least a mile from the airport. You can not see much from the road. The Pima Air Mu. is always a treat. Visitor friendly and lots of one of a kind aircraft. DM use to do tours two Saturdays a month, but that may have be stopped for now.

A couple hours up the road is Phoenix. At the Mesa airport, the CAF keep the AZ Sq aircraft a HE111 and B25. Plus a few others. And the Chaplain Fighter Mu. Go there quickly, as it is moving to Seattle in the near future.

Enjoy your trip.
