    AIM-9L Sidewinder -- pics from Pima Air Museum

    I visited the Pima Air & Space Museum in Tucson AZ last month Here are some pics of the AIM-9L on display...I am not sure if the colors are 100%, and I noticed one of the bands on the body is mounted backwards since the "FWD" is pointing to the rear of the missle

    so here is the first set...

    I hate going to museums and seeing obvious mistakes like that.
