As Scott Marchand and Andrew Boehly, CEO and Director of Collections of the Pima Air and Space Museum, respectively, were in town, I had to drag them to the pub to find out what the future holds for the expanding Museum. With the arrival of Philippine Mars, the opening of the Tucson Military Vehicle Museum, and a raft of projects on the go, Scott and Andrew bring us up to speed with all the latest from Pima and the current trends affecting aviation museums. Welcome to the Pima Pubcast!

Many thanks to  @boneyardsafari  for the footage of the Martin Mars move!
