These are from a 10 min stop on a bus trip from the Grand Canyon to Flagstaff. It's Planes Of Fame in Valle Arizona http://planesoffame....lle-az-location

Looking at their website they have a fantastic collection at the two sites. Anyone visited?

Cool. Late 2011, I was working in Az. and drove over to the canyon one weekend.

The Connie, Columbine II, was Eisenhower's "Air Force One", and the first aircraft to use that call sign. She was almost cut up for scrap, but in 2016, was taken east for restoration.

The Blue Angels F-11 was there at the time, and a very old De Havilland jet as well.

I was back in August of 2017, but the museum was already closed when I got there.

I was doing public information for a fire in the area last year and the museum was one of the stops where I dropped off information packets each day. I was going to try and stop in on my way back home, but ended up going directly to another fire near Prescott. I did get a chance to take a quick peak around the place though. It is on the small side, but a nice collection. They said most of the planes are flyable or close to flyable condition. They have a Bf-109G, I don't think there are many of those around.

The airport offices next door have a nice collection of around a dozen old cars on display in the lobby, mostly 1920s through 1940.

The first photo showing the Constellation reminds me of the first commercial flight I toke with TWA Airlines many years ago.
