Pima Air & Space Museum will be the destination today for the 24^th annual Copperstate 1000 Road Rally, the “finest working examples of vintage, sports, racing, classic and grand touring automobiles manufactured before the 1974 model year,” (no “garage queens”). This event benefits the Phoenix Art Museum and the Copperstate 10-90 Foundation (for families of officers killed in the line of duty). http://www.mensartscouncil.com/cs/about/

The Pima Air & Space Museum is one of the largest aviation museums in the world and the largest non-government-funded in the U.S. (TripAdvisor ranks it in the Top 10% worldwide for excellent ratings.) Its significant collection, 300 strong from around the globe, covers commercial, military and civil aviation alongside more than 125,000+ artifacts, including a moon rock donated by Tucsonan and Astronaut Frank Borman.
