Deer Valley Airport, if you ask for permition to walk around, although with actual state of affairs I don't know if they will let you. A couple of F-8s there, visible from the street, there was a Strikemaster, a Nanchang J-6, a couple of HU-16 Albatross.
Williams (Former AFB) south from Mesa, also has a very interesting mix of aircraft in residence; F-104, T-33, etc. as well as a plant where modification work is conducted on T-38 wings.
Chandler Municipal, also interesting to visit.
If you have the time, and wheels, drive to Tucson, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours away, I-10 East. Make sure you get to the Pima Air Museum before 11:00 AM, so you can take the tour of Davis Monthan.
