Tucson (Mostly Pima Air Museum)

Sentinel Peak Park gave a nice overview of the city.  (It was certainly a nicer view before the city, but what can one do?)

Went to Musselman Honda for new tires.  From arrival to departure it was less than two hours.  Had some great conversations with service desk guy and customers, so it was time well spent.  Harley-Davidson dirt bikes, days of finicky carburetors, crazy drives, crazier drivers, etc.

Rest of the day at Pima Air Museum.  They include “and Space”, but it’s not really.  Huge place.  In four hours I barely scratched the surface.  They have 300 veteran volunteers to help spread first hand knowledge.  Paid extra for a tour of the Government “Boneyard”. P1000916 P1000913
