It looks like I will once again go to the US this year, this time to Arizona. Does anyone know what vehicles are displayed in Arizona Military Museum? Any Vietnam era or more modern stuff there?
Also do you know any other place in Arizona or Utah, where I could see post-WW2 US military vehicles? Any gate guards maybe?

Thanks Matt, but I already know these addresses. Unfortunately there is no exhibits list available at AMM website - and only UH-1 is mentioned in the text. On the list of museums there is just one more in Arizona: Fort Huachuca, but I couldn't find anything interesting for me in their exhibits catalog...

Oh, yes... Seeing that place would be great! But I'm sure it is not available for civilian visitors :-(

You can see into the Boneyard area if you drive around DM AFB, there is also plenty of A-10 activity overhead all day in Tucson (from my experinece --I also saw a F-4, Tornado, MH-60G, AH-64, C-130, F-16, KC-135).
This was taken in the midst of the boneyard/DM perimiter...
But beyond that there is a full museum near the base with aircraft that is open to the public (B-52, B-47, they got it)... We didn't stop and it looked like many of the cocpits etc. had been seal and protected, though i don't recall. It's Pima Air Museum
http://www.pimaair.org/
they also operate a defunct Titan Missle Silo about 30 miles south of Tucson (yes my hand is on the launch key)
