I've been scanning a lot of older 35mm prints lately and came across a bunch of aviation photos. Most of the photos scanned quite well, but please excuse the occasional dark or dingy scan.
The now-defunct Strategic Air Command was headquartered at Offutt AFB in Bellevue, NE, a suburb of Omaha. It is now the HQ of the Air Combat Command. For years the SAC Museum was located on one end of Offutt AFB. There was a building housing many displays but all the aircraft, sadly, were displayed outdoors, exposed to the elements.
Fortunately that has changed when the Museum moved to a new location just west of Omaha. The great thing is that there are far more indoor displays than there were at the old museum. Most importantly all the aircraft are now displayed indoors and slowly being repainted and restored.
Here are some shots, scanned from 35mm prints, of the old outdoor museum. First up is a B-25 Mitchell medium bomber.
