Notes: Allen Airways Flying Museum is a private collection housed in a luxurious hangar complex at Gillespie Field. Willis M Allen has built up a large collection of aviation memorabilia, collected in various rooms containing medals, posters, trophies, flying helmets, machinery, and random memorabilia, along with an extensive library. There is a lounge bar and cinema, and he gave us a guided tour of the whole complex. Many thanks to him for allowing us in and talking us through his private wonderland! Mojave Airport was a bit of a disappointment for us spotters. Security toured around, forbidding photography of anything "beyond the fence", which included delights such as Virgin Orbit's 747 Cosmic Girl, The OSC Stargazer TriStar, another Convair 990 and the rest of the boneyard. Still, there is a nice restaurant, and three aircraft at the gate, including the NASA 990. |
