Raymond Davis Jr.  Ponca City, Oklahoma	Hello my father was a mechanic on a B-52 at KAFB I believe in the early 1950's. He and my mother took a trip to New Mexico and believed that the B-52 that was on display at the museum was the one he worked on. I was looking to try to get the tail number or picture or something. I have some information but not much as he has passed away in 2004. Thank you very much. 10/10/2007 @ 17:40 [ref: 6387]
Bill Dingh  , New Mexico	Well thought out chronology of historical events and artifacts. I really like the how their exhibits team put together a very interesting museum. Can't wait to see what they do in their new museum, good luck! 10/01/2007 @ 19:40 [ref: 6358]
Bob Shepard  Westminster, Colorado	I am writing to ask for your help. A Cold War/Peace museum has been proposed for a long vacant S.A.G.E. (Semi-Automatic Ground Environment) direction center located on the grounds of Stewart International Airport in Newburgh, NY (formerly Stewart Air Force Base). Apparently, the British owned company that is currently operating the Airport has relaeased a new "Master Plan" that includes demolition of the S.A.G.E. building. How can you help? Just click on the link that I have included with this message and tell them what you think. The link is to the proposed museums' website. Thank you in advance for any and all encouragement, suggestions or support! http://www.coldwarpeacemuseum.org/home.html Best Personal Regards, Bob Shepard 02/05/2006 @ 17:09 [ref: 4773]
Rick Cox  , Kansas	An excellent museum displaying atomic weapons, the history of the Manhattan project, H-bomb development, ICBMs and more. (The aircraft are still at ABQ.) Docent Charlie Schmitt knows the hardware inside-out and was able to tell us a lot about it. Thanks Charlie! 12/10/2004 @ 00:14 [ref: 3625]

Gary  Albuquerque, New Mexico	Tom: here's a Hound Dog web site (there are no pictures of the one at the museum): http://www.designation-systems.net/dusrm/m-28.html and here's a pic of the B-52 at the old museum; the AGM-28 is under the far wing out of sight: http://www.atomicmuseum.com/tour/ds2.cfm Michael: The aircraft are still here at Kirtland AFB, but not accessible to the general public since 9/11. The school is still here also, but is the USAF Pararescue School, not the aircrew Survival School, which is, in fact, at Nellis AFB. John: Yep, the CT-39 is still on a pole in front of Kirtland Base Ops. To All: This is a great place, and the only place on the planet to see this slice of history. Its interim downtown location is a little cramped and the aircraft & missiles are still stuck on base, but soon the museum will have a new building everyone can get to without a base clearance. 06/24/2004 @ 20:24 [ref: 3228]

The collection of historic aircraft are being readied for relocation to a site where the museum will construct a new facility. The aircraft are not accessible to the public until 2008. Please updaytte this information so as not to dissapoint visitors. Jim Walther Museim Dircetor 04/01/2004 @ 16:53 [ref: 3043]
Bill Broussard  Houston, Texas	Excellent museum about nuclear weapons development often kept from public scrutiny during the Cold War. Many things here you will find nowhere else. 10/22/2001 @ 15:25 [ref: 1541]
