Valle Grand Canyon Airport (40G) - What a surprise!!!

On a recent trip to Nevada and Arizona with the family, we were heading towards the Grand Canyon when we happened on this airfield and took a couple of minutes to have a look at the aircraft on view outside Planes of Fame.  I was surprised to see these few outside - would love to explore this the next time we are in the area - but - the Lockheed Constellation L-1049 info states it's in flyable condition - I'd love to take a ride on that!!!  But - here are the few I managed to shoot in the few minutes we stopped there.








 What a great surprise this was!!

Yes MissT! - I took that - it was at Homestead Raceway a couple of years ago when we were there for a NASCAR race - now - why it didn't let you take it - I'm not sure - but - I can email it to you :)
