: Lynn,
:
: I also did a visit to Idaho last summer and here's what I
: found. Near Boise is a small town called Nampa, which is w
: here John Paul's Warhawk Air Museum is located, and it is
: open to the public, with a beautiful collection of flyable
: warbirds and artifacts. Visit: http://www.warhawkairmuseu
: m.org/index.htm
:
: At Boise, a secure airport, there is an AAFS base with a
: Huey gunship on a pole, and an F-4 phantom nearby. On the
: freeway side of the airport is an airtanker base.
:
: Near Twin Falls is the small town of Jerome; Airpower Unli
: mited has several Corsairs under restoration and Tim Savag
: e's PV-2 Harpoon project. The website is http://www.airpow
: erunlimited.com/default.htm and I would recommend a call,
: prior to visiting, they are very friendly folks.
:
: At the Twin Falls airport is a T-33 on a pole, and an old
: WWII tank display.
:
: If you get a chance, up north near Arco, you can see the w
: orlds first nuclear power plant "EBR-1", which gives excel
: lent guided tours. It is at the Idaho National Engineering
: and Environmental Laboratories. What is really interestin
: g here, are the two aircraft nuclear engine prototypes tha
: t are gigantic. Worth a visit. I hope this helps..........
