Air Museum Photos from Tucson

I have some photos from one of the air museums near Tucson here (the Flickr link). I'll attach a few here.

Well, no I won't. I just tried 8 times (may that 15 times) to upload the photos to gather and it failed every time. I'm using small, low resolution versions, so it isn't the file size...

I give up for now. The link to Flickr will work.

edit: this has to be the most annoying attempt at posting I've had in ages, but that has nothing to do with the group, of course, just with la belle Gather. I keep trying (and trying and trying) to load photos, this silly posting interfarce (amazingly, not a typo), I mean interface, tells me I'm done, I click "next," and then I receive an error message and find that nothing uploaded. I have bunch of photos that aren't on Flickr that I've trying to "share". The quality isn't always good- they are a bit old and were digitized off film by Walgreens, that noted member of the f64 club. However, they might appeal to this group... but not if you can't see them, Argh!

Great experience, the Pima Museum. I see that they keep adding to the collection. I am surprised at the number pf SR-71 Blackbirds have made it into museum collections around the country. Thanks for rekindling the memories.

Here's another 10 also. I love air museums! My favorite is still the Naval Air Museum in Pensacola, FL.

Sometimes trying again later works. Where's the link to Flickr?

James B. Jul 22, 2009, 11:33pm EDT

The link to flickr is the word "here" in the text: I have some photos from one of the air museums near Tucson here (the Flickr link).

Thanks Kerrel, Jo, Kenneth, spartan and lynn.

The SR-71 Blackbird is a pretty amazing site. My boys could look at it for hours, it seemed. So could I...

Thanks Kenneth- I couldn't remember the name of this museum (I've only been there about 3 times, but I plead young children).

In the photos that you can't yet see, there are a number of shots of training cockpits with my kids in them and of old versions of Air Force One- quite a few of the old Air Force Ones are represented.

I suppose I might as well has uploaded the other photos to Flickr. At least you could see them.

Lynn, click on the word "here" that should be in blue to get to my Flickr photos.

I guess that should be "sight," though site almost works...

James B. Apr 20, 2009, 12:26am EDT

OK, I just uploaded a bunch more to the Flickr site at the link above since Gather reuses to let me upload them here.

Trying to publish to Gather can be so frustrating... I feel your pain. The link works fine though and you have some great pics. I would like to go there myself and see what is there too. I really found that D-21 Lockheed drone interesting, and I have never seen a private picture of one before; only read about them. They used them to spy on the USSR way back to keep any more pilots from being shot down like Gary Powers I believe. Some of this unmanned technology (UAV) goes back further than we know... or at least did know, ha!
Thanks for posting... and your struggles.... ;-) Take care.
