Castle Air Museum, Atwater, California

[S7Paul]

I've finally got round to uploading the photos from my visit to Castle Air Museum in September. It was a lengthy detour off our San Fran to San Diego road trip, but well worth it (for the B-36 alone). The photos are here: http://s127.photobucket.com/user/s7paul/library/Ca... but just as a taster...

Where do you think the stylists on the original Star Wars picked up their artistic cues? Look at the gun positions on the Millennium Falcon as well.

Castle FAB looks like it has a good collection.

People are afraid of Putin and WW3 now, but look what we came through - decades of very cold war and itchy trigger fingers. Millenials - lightweights!

Interesting, why's the bomb aimer's window offset from the centreline? Or is it just an observation window and bomb delivery was computer(!) controlled?
