3/x: Some of Bonestell's most famous pieces are of what most #astronomers were SURE the lunar landscape would like up close. This rough & jagged landscape was the general consensus until probes visited the moon more than a decade after this book was published. #SpaceArt

2/x: A beautiful orbital shot and a glimpse of Ley's theoretic moon-bound spacecraft. #SpaceArt

10/x: Some great #WWII armor! #tanks #armor

9/x: First set from their Land Warfare section, some great Cold War pieces, including several of my favorites (Chieftain, Scorpion) and even a Conqueror Heavy Tank! #tanks #armor

8/x: A rare piece, the BGM-109 Gryphon, the ground-launched Tomahawk that was a key component of US tactical nuclear forces in Europe for all of 8 years until the INF Treaty was signed. Ironically, an accidental successor exists today as the Typhon. #aviation #missile #avgeeks

7/x: Some clever line-ups in this section, a R-17 Scud vs MIM-104 Patriot & the U-2 vs S-75 SAM. #aviation #avgeeks

6/x: 1st set from the American Airpower hangar, a little taste of home! #aviation #avgeeks

5/x: Great work being done in the restoration hangar, including a MASSIVE Avro Shackleton and a literal wall of 60-80 year old engines, including a Junker Jumo 004! #aviation #avgeeks

4/x: More Cold War jets, including a Spey-equipoed F-4 and one of my favorites, the Hawker Hunter! #aviation #avgeeks

3/x: Examples of their Battle of Britain collection, including some actual Luftwaffe wreckage. #aviation #avgeeks

2/x Some random Cold War examples of UK #aviation for my fellow #avgeeks

3/x Southern #Arizona was once home to a fascinating culture of desert irrigation farmers, referred to today as the Hohokam, with Casa Grande surviving to the modern era. This impressive structure was likely built between 1300-1350 AD & was occupied for a century. #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth

2/x Next up, the Pueblos of Wupatki National Monument in northern Arizona. Established not long after the nearby Sunset Crater was formed (mid-11th century AD), which briefly enriched the soil enough for a small community to form. By ~1225 AD the good soil was gone & the people with it.

2/x Grissom Air Force Museum #Avgeeks #AirForce
