Fatman and Little Boy, also a nuclear bomb.

Littleboy and a B-29

A MIG of some type (super cool looking, but cordoned off)

another shot of the MIG with a US Navy Corsair II in the foreground, ( I just think atomic age fighters with up front intakes are the coolest planes)

a replica of the Trinity test tower (original was converted into radioactive vapour)

B-29, a nice looking bit of tin

A B-52, pretty big I guess.

Pretty

A somber reminder.

A 42 P ackard stretch limo, from the trinity test site.

The flag that flew the day we entered the Nuclear Age

a 42 Plymouth staff car from Trinity.

Replicas of Fatman and Littleboy.

Einstein’s Delorean (I think)

Harley Charlie

Dash and the little Doorhandles getting coffee in Roswell.

Neat. I haven’t been to the National Atomic Museum since the new site was built. Back in the day it used to be on base, which wasn’t necessarily a problem for folks visiting it until after 9/11 happened .

Second visit in three years, I think the MIG is new.   Could have spent the whole day,  its a great museum.  Out west on Eubank.

Thank you, I know is wasn’t a 15 (which is the coolest mig, because it has the biggest snout. )

So you like big snouts? Let me introduce you to the Yak-36:
