Thank you.
And yes, I am the photographer - would only post and share my own work. Captured all the images today (took the time to watermark 99% of the images). Stopped at the SAC Museum on Rt. 80W after flying into Omaha in route to Lincoln.
Used my Nikon D700 FX
Sigma 15mm f/2.8 Fisheye
Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8

Not one RB47 that I was Electronic Countermeasures repairman down the road at Lincoln in '57.

Nice series of shots. Thanks for posting.
Didn't see an LGM-30 (Minuteman) sitting around? Just that cyrogenic Atlas beast ?????
Would love to take a camera down in the Minuteman hole that they have (Ellsworth AFB - Rapid City, SD - Delta 9). Worked on Minot's birds (A Models) but would be shot at sunrise if we even thought of taking a camera anywhere around a bird.
Great shots! spent 8 years in SAC, Boom Operator on KC-135, over 100 combat missions SEA.

did not want you to think i was challenging you on your shots, it is just when you see a link on here it isn't usualy to the perons own photos. anyway excellant job. especialy like the through the cockpit shots. too bad no shots of a RAF vulvan. still the best looking bomber since the b-29. Whenever i see one, i cant help to think of thunderball with sean connery.(his best 007 movie)
They have a couple Minuteman missiles and a launch control trainer at The Air Force Museum in Dayton.
I was a B52G Fire Control type. In Michigan. Outside all winter. Cold.
