Seems to be a cool airport to drive around! Thx for sharing! 
Re: Bangor Intl Airport - BGR - June 2017
It was nice experience, but 3 days was definitely overkill. After you collect all the stored stuff, there is not much to wait for. On the second day we've got Omega Tanker DC-10 with two F/A-18s and few other things. Other than that, just random fuel stop arrivals coming and going from USA.
I'll post Day 2 and Day 3 shots soon.

Day 2.
In the morning we went to Cole Land Transportation Museum (if you can call it that, one Huey and one tank).
After quick stop we drove to the town of Holden to grab Polish Air Force MiG-21R which is employed as a advertisement for the local gun shop.
From there back to Bangor airport to check the ramps by the museum and to photograph whatever was in that museum (1 Huey and 1 strange heli). ON the ramp close to the museum there is another rotor less Army Huey.
