USA Utah - Hill Aerospace Museum - 23/08/17

Thanks to Roy Blewett.
The museum has two large display halls and an extensive outdoor airpark. An open-air restoration area can be viewed from the covered walkway linking the two display halls. A number of aircraft in storage can be seen by exiting the fire doors at the back of the hall furthest from the entrance, the Lindquist Stewart Fighter Gallery.
