Gallery Update: Rocky Mountain Winter

Finally! Another update to the gallery! These photos were taken during a semi-business trip to Idaho and Utah. Photos include the rare A2D Skyshark on display at Pacific Fighters in Idaho Falls, Idaho and the Hill Aerospace Museum in Ogden, Utah:

Also, the off-airport spotting album has been updated:

Off-Airport 1 (Updated)

Preview:

The sole-surviving Skyshark airframe restored by Pacific Fighters on display at the Idaho Falls Regional Airport. Development issues with  the engine ultimately doomed the future of this aircraft.

But talk about a waste of a cool nickname for an airplane... 

Restoration hangar at Pacific Fighters. Aircraft included are the T-6 Texan and P-51 Mustang.

One of many F-16s based at Hill AFB coming in to land most likely after training exercises held somewhere in the Utah desert.
