AWESOME!
Thanks Steve!
(and Bill 🙂
Thanx, I didn’t know the tanker museum existed until I saw this article…I’m planning a road trip now.
Keep in mind that only a small portion of the aircraft at the museum are air tankers.
New to area, thanks you. What are the open hours of the museum?
WELL WORTH SEEING ;EVEN MORE THAN ONCE!
