An often incorrect fact believed and passed on by many is that the D-21 (Daughter ship) drone was carried and launched by an SR-71. The D-21 was carried and launched by an M-21 (Mother ship), two of which were built. I really enjoy all of your walk-arounds.
The T-33 you cited was assigned to the 84th FIS at Castle AFB. I worked on this aircraft from1975 to 1977. The colors painted on the rudder are from the bicentennial.
Thank you. I was stationed at March in 1982 in the hospital that is now gone. I thought the whole base was gone. I know training for Iraq and Afghanistan was done at 29 Palms because of its desert location. Thank you for this video. 😊
Thanks very much for your museum walkthrough videos, I've enjoyed watching several of yours so far which give an excellent idea of what's there to see at each. As an avid aircraft photographer, I find myself licking my lips at museums like this one where the aircraft are out in the open and not tightly packed, would love to do some sunrise/sunset photos at places like this. I find myself trying to guess which aircraft is next before you say it, doing pretty well on most I find but those 1950-60s "Thunder" fighter series are hard ones to get my head around. Thanks again for the informative videos, felt I should let you know they have proved very useful to me for visits some day when I get over there for an aviation-specific holiday. Cheers, Mick.
Referring to the A-37. That was not the tweety-bird. The tweety-bird was the T-37, a primary jet trainer for the air force. It was called the tweety-bird because the centrifugal compressor engines emitted a high pitch scream at low power settings, so loud and piercing the Air Force gave us special ear protection resembling what you wear on a firing range. The A-37 was basically the same airframe fitted with the same engines as the T-38 but without afterburner. Doubled the thrust from the T-37 version and without the scream. A-37 was armed and used for close air support in Vietnam. Vietnamese also flew the A-37.
"End of the World" was released 20 November 2018 (so maybe a bit rushed. . . view the ratings yourself) Still photos include a scene with an Air Force transport aircraft, and given this scene the rope ladder and the woman yelling "keep it steady Kirby" maybe some helicopter takes also, the green screen floor apparently became churning tsunami water
If you're ever near Topeka, Kansas you should stop into the Combat Air Museum here at Forbes ANG base. Formerly Forbes Field. It's not real large but has some very nice displays. There is also an Kansas National Guard Museum with a few static displays of Army aircraft and vehicles on the grounds. It's only about 2 or 3 blocks from the aforementioned museum.
in case youve not been there, check out lyon museum at john wayne airport in santa ana california. all sorts of things youd love mostly ww2 aircraft and ground stuff. also cantigny park in wheaton illinois ww2 era ground stuff. used to be able to climb all over the things. unless the helicopter parents closed that down. but al sorts of ww2 era ground stuff remains
yamahaonkawazuki, PLEASE learn to use upper and lower case text correctly, and use punctuation to INCREASE intelligibility rather than DECREASE it. You might mean well, but this super lazy way you are leaving comments is just depressing to read.
Loved this video. My husband and I just watched it. His dad was a pilot during WWII and was stationed at March from the late 50's after Korea. My husband knew all the planes as you walked through. We love all your travel videos. When will you be doing another Amtrak trip?
We have tickets for mid October. Fort Worth to Chicago and back. Last trip we went to LA and toured the Reagan Library instead of going to March AFB. Loved your shots of the take off and landings of the fighters. We couldn't identify them though. Did you?
@@youtuuba Easy, what I'm talking about is that IN their "VIETNAM" exhibit I saw no CH-47 nor did I see any model of Huey. Now, on the "sends" thing , that's just how I talk, so sorry. H-21 was cool, you didn't video it but there aren't many of those around anymore.
Champlaindivision, I am not prejudiced against FB-111s, but I am inclined to strongly dislike people who leave comments like yours. If you had a real question to ask, or an actual point to make, that would be a different story.
@@youtuuba Okay, my point is, you actually walked up to virtually every other aircraft out there except the FB-111. You mentioned it a few times but never went near it. I was just wondering why. It only happens to be my favorite aircraft of all time, that's all.
@ChamplainDivision , many things can happen when shooting video in a complex area like a museum. Some things just get missed by accident, some get recorded but cannot be unglued due to technical issues, etc. If you had just written that you missed seeing your favorite airplane, that would have been reasonable. But instead, you wrote a snarky and rather rude comment that implied active prejudice on my part, and that is inappropriate.
Sebastian Odoherty, too bad I didn't "completely miss" showing all the major items that are the focus of this museum. In being so single minded about your personal favorite thing, you come across as in ingrate.
