Castle Air Museum is undoubtedly one of the very best aviation museums I have had the pleasure of visiting. A fabulous range of aircraft on display and some really nice people running the show.
I came across the museum by accident when I was traveling from Loas Angeles up to Yosemite National Park. It is conveniently located close to the main route between these two important tourist locations and not that far from San Francisco, either.
The official address is Castle Air Museum, 5050, Santa Fe Drive, Atwater, California. You can't miss it - just look out for the Avro Vulcan parked by the road side.
The Boeing B52 has what I believe to be a Bomark missile under is port wing. Once again, I'm sure experts will rush to their keyboards to put me right.
Is this a Bomark missile, with a ramjet engine, I wonder?
The Avro Canada F100 Canuk is apparently one of the largest fighter aircraft ever built. It was the largest in its time, I think.
Another famous Boeing, the B29 Superfortress had a spectacular payload range but suffered considerably at the hands of Japanese fighters, the performance of which had been greatly under estimated.
Used for area fire bombing of Japan its most two most spectacular raids brought the war to a speedy and less costly end.
A jet engine under each wing helped to increase take off performance and altitude capability of the Boeing KC97L Stratofreighter, here in air to air refueling guise.
