Arizona or Bust - June 2002
My 2002 vacation was a trip to Arizona (and of couse I was on my lookout for X-2 sightings while there). The largest "concentration" I found was in Tucson at the Pima Air and Space Museum - Pete Everest country. I was disappointed to see their small display of Gen. Everest was gone, but the Arizona Aviation Hall of Fame has a display for him.

This is the old Gen. Everst display the museum had on display at one time. The items were from the General himself to the museum |

A close up of Pete's "chief" helmet. You can see him wearing this helmet
in some X-2 photos |

Tucson has a lot more things, or course...

Did You Know... There are 2 Starlifters in storage at AMARC for every resident of Tucson? (just kidding) |

South of Tucson is the Titan Missile Museum - the only musem of its type in existance. Tour an underground missile silo. |
