Nukes!

I had to go to Salt Lake City today to pick up supplies. As I usually do, I passed by Hill Aerospace Museum. Stopped by and took a bunch of photos… did a walkaround of the Northrop F-89 on display outside:

Inside, I’ve found that their stock of aircraft has increased *again,* this time with a new Lockheed “Jetstar” transport, recently refurbished and repainted, and looking spiffy:

I also photo’ed the several nuclear weapons that Hill has on display. These included the B-61:

The Genie air-to-air nuke:

The early Mk 6 bomb:

And the mockup of the Trinity nuke used in a BBC movie:

I heartily recommend the Hill Aerospace Museum if you’re in the area of Salt Lake City. It’s very well stocked with planes that are very well restored.
