[simpits-tech] AFB and F16s

[Matt Bailey]

Yeah I was at AMARC once.....just give me two days and a trailor in that 
place. :) Quite a few F-4's, plenty of T-38's too, I was particularly 
interested in the planes (T-38's mostly, as I recall) that had been whacked 
off behind the cockpit, leaving the entire nose and cockpit by itself. I 
wonder how much they would really want for something like this? Esepcially if 
it's stripped and has little or no salvage value.

Btw, on the way to Pima Air Museum, there is a military complex, National 
Guard or something like that I think. Did you notice the nice looking 
simulator in the parking lot on a trailor? Both times I was at the musem I 
noticed the sim on the way there. Would be neat to investigate it and see 
what it's used for and what it can do.
