One of the first three test models of the 787-8 which was originally intended to be delivered to All Nippon Airways (ANA) has been donated to the Pima Air and Space Museum. The museum is one of the largest aviation museums in the world with 300 aircraft on display. Boeing donates 787-8 ZA002 (N787EX) to the Pima Air and Space Museum | World Airline News

The primary focus of the aircraft with test designation ZA002 was testing systems performance.

The Pima Air and Space Museum is located in Tuscon at 6000 E. Valencia Road, Tucson, Exit 267 off Interstate 10.

It's a decent museum, not too many places to see a B-58 up close. A bit sad when you go to an air museum and three aircraft you personally flew are on display. West side of Davis-Monthan AFB.

Yea I know the feeling. My name was in the records of the F-15 at the USAF museum many times. In fact I think I did the initial acceptance inspection for the Comm/Nav/ECM system on that plane.

Oh the C-123 nearby (the one set up as a spray bird) flew over the Virginia Peninsula for mosquito control many of the years I was at 1 TFW. Makes you feel old.

Flew escort for those guys (callsign "Buggy") during an exercise at Fort Stewart in the mid 80s, as I was getting checked out as a escort wingman in the A-10 (I was a 1st Lt at the time). They dropped a couple hundred gallons of green-tinted water on the Army TOC; very amusing to hear the USAF ALO on the frequency as it happened, first time I ever heard an F-bomb on a military radio. It was intentional at the request of the brigade commander.

That is great!

I grew up in Tucson and remember visiting the museum when it first opened in 1978. They might have had 40 planes on display back then.
