I visited the Pueblo Weisbrod Aircraft Museum Today.
The Weather was forecast to be good for flying today so I rented 811MS and flew down to Pueblo.
Turns out the winds were pretty high and gusty. Departing KBJC 8kts no gusts. Arriving in Pueblo 22kts gusting 29kts. It felt like I was almost stopped when the wheels touched down...
This airport was used in WWII as a bomber training facility, B29s among others. It is difficult to explain the scale of the B-29. I had to stitch pictures together to capture it in 1 shot. Much larger than a B-17 or B-24. A 141 wing span almost double the B-17.
P2V-7
These Jets have had the engines removed. If you look closely you can see the air inlet at the front of the Jet. These are a wing with an engine, the cockpit is an after thought...
Lockheed C131-A -- Not the C-130 by a long shot. But it looks like the Coast Guard used it for people transport.
Look closely, You can see my house!
Returning I left Pueblo in 28kts gusting 36kts. KBJC had 14kts gusting 22kts. I still managed some great landings in the piper.
