December 3 -- Gillespie Field Annex

The San Diego Air & Space Museum maintains an annex for planes that it hasn’t room to display, is working on, etc. It’s at Gillespie Field in El Cajon, and is a quick, fun visit. It’s a small place with virtually no visitors and some cool aircraft. Here are some of them:

F-86 Sabre jet and a Vietnam era, San Diego-built Ryan drone.

F-14 Tomcat.

F-16.

Blue Angels' F-18 in the process of reassembly.

Mig-21.

Grumman A-6 Intruder.

A-7 Corsair.

An unrestored WWII-era Corsair.

Harrier vertical take-off and landing “jump-jet.”

A stealth something . . .

Model of a Gulfstream supersonic business jet concept.

Can you tell me any more about the Gulfstream SST bizjet model? Where it was located, who build it, etc.
Thanks.
