# A visit to an aircraft graveyard

The **Pima Air & Space Museum** is a must-visit for any aviation enthusiast. Perhaps even more interest lies in the nearby aircraft "graveyard", the **Boneyard**. However, that's part of **Davis-Monthan** Air Force Base and visits are only possible on weekdays — booking in advance is required.

What strikes anyone from the Czech Republic is the access to the exhibits. Here they're within arm's reach, as close as you can imagine. A **rope around an aircraft** is only the exception. You can often **look inside**. It's paradise, not just for photographers.

The museum itself spans not just hangars but outdoor areas too. Worth mentioning are historical aircraft from the aerobatic teams **Thunderbirds** and Blue Angels. The fastest aircraft, the **SR-71**. The presidential Air Force One. Bombers — B-17, B-24, B-25 and **B-29**. Countless transport aircraft. On top of all that, there are **guides** in every hangar who often flew the very aircraft they're talking about, so they'll always tell you something you didn't know and throw in a personal story too.

Pima Air & Space Museum is definitely a place **worth seeing**. Allow at least half a day — and don't forget to book the Boneyard too.
