More "older" shots fro the museum...
This is an interior view of what the oldest part of our hangar complex looked like back in 2010 as seen from the then newest expansion.

A new acquisition at the Pima Air & Space Museum.  Actually a couple of months ago but the embargo on posting was just lifted.

Here is an evening shot from September that I finally had time to look at:

This evening shot is very nice John, very good balance with light and composition.

I have a question about the F-104 that was just finished. In the shop it was very shiny. Outside it looks more natural without the shine. Do you folks use a degloss of some sort to knock down the shine. It really looks good, you guys do great work. Thanks

It is probably just dust settling on the airplane--it doesn't take long for it to start collecting!

Just one of the older PASM images. This is from October 2012 after our Halloween ghosts found a case of Fat Tire...
