Pima Air & Space Museum

Frommer's Review

Located just south of Davis Monthan Air Force Base, the Pima Air & Space Museum houses one of the largest collections of historic aircraft in the world. On display are more than 250 aircraft, including an X-15 (the world's fastest aircraft), an SR-71 Blackbird, several Russian MiGs, a "Superguppy," and a B-17G "Flying Fortress." Tours are available.

The museum also offers guided tours of Davis Monthan's AMARC (Arizona Maintenance and Regeneration Center) facility, which goes by the name of the Boneyard. Here, thousands of mothballed military planes are lined up in neat rows under the Arizona sun. Tours last just under an hour and cost $6 for adults and $3 for children 12 and under. Tour reservations (tel. 520/574-0462) should be made about a week in advance.
