Stopped at the Gift Shop as well but a bit on the spendy side if ya know what I mean.
I will not be captioning these as it would be an endless procedure.
Just pure, unadulterated plane pr0n!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I do recommend paying this museum a visit should your travels bring you to the Salt Lake City Metro Area.

I found the Hill AFB museum to be on of the better ones I've ever visited. Not as good as Wright-Patt's (of course) but excellent, just the same. And that F-111 you photographed? The day I was there a docent walked up to me and said "That used to be my office." "Really?" sez I, followed by "When were you at Upper Heyford?" What transpired was about a half-hour conversation about the wonders of Ol' Blighty and shared memories of England, back in our day. It turned out that he and I occupied the same space at the same time, even though our responsibilities in life were radically different. But: brothers, none the less.
I've posted a lot of my pics of the Hill museum as well and I find it interesting how our eyes caught the same sorts of things. With the possible exception of the floating airfield. ;-)
Great pics, Glenn!!! Photography can be a pain in those buildings ;-) Glad to see you had a good time!
CV-8 with The Doolittle Raiders embarked. Had to have that one.
I really enjoyed your photos! Haven't visited Hill AFB in almost 27 years. Looks like I need to get back.
All the best!
I've been to Hill museum before. The replica of the Wright Brothers plane caught my attention the most because of its historical background. Although the Wright Brothers weren't the first to build and fly an aircraft, they were the ones who invented the controls to make wing powered-flight possible. BTW, I know someone named Steve who worked in Vought Aircraft as an inspector on a YA7F program. He once told me that Ya7F is much better than its predecessor Sky-hawk.
