Museum Visit Report: March Field Museum

A few weeks a I revisited  the March Field Museum located next to March ARB in Riverside County. I've been to this museum a few times, for airshows and to check out the aircraft. It has a wide array of aircraft, with a few rare ones such as the Northrop YA-9A and a YF-14A. They also have a good mix of large aircraft like the B-52D, KC-97, KC-135, and a C-141B.

B-47 During 2007 Visit

But the thing that I'm have been impressed with has been their restoration program. Between my visit in 2007 and now (2011), they have been able restore and repaint the B-47, reskin and repaint the F-104, and repaint the F-100. It looks like the F-86L is next in line after the B-17 is finished to which they were working on during my visit.
