Absolutely incredible collection of planes at Pima Air & Space Museum.
Here you can find Lockheed Blackbird, a strategic reconnaissance aircraft that can reach speeds at and over Mach 3.
Cold war hasn't become "hot" thanks to a fleet of Convair B-36s, that were patrolling skies around USSR 24/7 from 1951 until 1959, carrying several nuclear weapons in order to immediately retaliate in case of an attack on US.
Famous Boeing B-52 that replaced B-36, and has been in service since 1955, and expected to be in service until 2050s.
And probably most "commercial" addition to the collection - Boeing 787 Dreamliner, greatest modern wide-body passenger plane.
So if you ever happen to be in Tucson, you must visit Pima museum, enjoy the planes but also hear stories first hand, from people who actually flew on these planes and served the United States. Unforgettable experience.
