Re: Noob intro and question about Del Prado

The ex-Castle AFB Museum has a great outdoor collection of aircraft: B-23, Vulcan, B-47, B-36, interior tour KC-97, B-25, B-24, B-17, B-29, C-46, F-104, etc
Well worth a visit.

When I was stationed there the museum also had a hangar on base that they used to store some of their aircraft and also had shelves loaded with old aircraft parts. There was also a Schweitzer-CG-3A-glider hanging from the ceiling in the same hangar. Some of the parts on the shelves where pretty cool, remember one that had a dorsal turret for a B-18. The museum also had a Sopwith Pup back then and curious if they still have it. Just before I left Castle they had a B-36 that had been at Chanute AFB and wonder if it is there on display now.
