March 28, 2023---Thanks for the video as Pima's REALLY changed. Go back 15 years or so ago and was a truck driver, going all over the U.S. except for Minnesota and Maine. Headed for Phoenix as our yard was there and had some time on my hands, so stopped to take a look at Pima. See there's LOTS of new planes/displays. What made me happy was seeing a F-102A in the markings of the 525TFS....same markings they were in when we were stationed at Bitburg AFB, Germany, where Dad was a crew chief on one of them. Told me how there were electrical shorts within the missile bay and more than once, a missile bay would suddenly just snap open, scaring the hell out of the people around it, when it was on the ground.
@@travel-ventures4364 Ever been to Merced, Calif.? There's an air museum out there but they have what's called open cockpit day where ALL the planes have the4 cockpits open for viewing/ photographing of them.

I am glad you enjoyed the video. I definitely feel like it has grown since I'd been there in the past.
