Boneyard Safari
Preserving Aviation HIstory

Who loves the Tweet? Here is a T-37 that was used by the NASA Dryden Flight Research Center, Edwards, California as a chase aircraft for research flights. It was also used as a probe aircraft wake vortices for studies in support of the national effort to reduce the hazards associated with the trailed wake vortices of large aircraft. #t37 #cessna #nasa #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari

Definitely a U-2 spotted traveling through Phoenix yesterday. #u2 #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari

Mustang or Corsair? #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari

Let’s start Friday off with a Bang, a 9 Megaton one at The Titan Missile Museum! #titanii #titanmissile #titanmissilemuseum #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari

Here is the North American NA-335 mockup, a proposed air superiority fighter that was an unsuccessful entry in the US Air Force's F-X program which eventually led to the F-15 Eagle. #na335 #f15 #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari

We have learned about the Philippine Mars at Pima Air and Space Museum, now let’s check out the ShinMaywa US-2! #us2 #shinmaywa #philippinemars #pimaairandspacemuseum #boneyardsafari

The General Dynamics Model 44 was a design study for a variable-sweep wing fighter, submitted for the VFX proposal. The proposed aircraft featured a variable-geometry (swing) wing design and reportedly resembled a smaller version of the controversial General Dynamics F-111B. Almost looks like a variant of the F4D Skyray! #model44 #vfxconcepts #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari

Did you know there was a mockup of an F-14 with a single vertical stab? Grumman considered a single tail configuration, often associated with the 303E design, to reduce weight and complexity. #f14 #f14tomcat #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari

Checking out the Vigilante at Pima Air and Space Museum #ra5c #pimaairandspacemuseum #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari

Here is the Vought V-507 Vagabond was an unbuilt design for a supersonic, twin-engine, variable-sweep-wing fighter aircraft that was Vought's submission for the U.S. Navy's VFX (Fighter Experimental) program in the late 1960’s. #v507 #vfx #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari
