Combat Air Museum in Topeka worth it?

For an hour 45 minute flight it is worth it. I have certainly been to
better aviation museums but there is no such thing as a bad aviation
museum. Besides I would rather fly 1:45 and see a museum than eat a
hamburger.

I visited 2 years ago during a stopover on a flight from NY to New
Mexico. We visited several aviation museums along the way (Liberal, KS
has a good one). It seems the only way I can get my wife to visit an
air museum is to take her on such a long flight that she needs a stop
to break the flight up. An air museum is acceptable to her, only for
that purpose. I'll take it anyway it comes.

Thinking about a day trip from Iowa City to this museum in Topeka, KS, on
Wednesday. Destination Direct says we'll be there in 1:44.

Anyone been there? Is it worth the trip?

Thanks!

Me, too!

Thanks for the feedback...

Anyone been to the SAC Museum between Omaha & Lincoln? I was near there last
weekend, but had no time to stop in. I would like to return from Dallas if
it is worthwhile. I went to their web site, but could not find a listing of
aircraft in the collection. Any ideas?

Thanks,

The SAC museum is AWESOME. It is second only to the Air Force Museum in
Dayton, Ohio, and ranks (in my opinion) ahead of the National Air & Space
Museum for good, old-fashioned airplane gawking. (This may soon change,
when the NASM opens their new facility, allowing them to display their
aircraft collection.)

The only down-side of the place is that it's no where near an airport! Of
all the stupid places for an aviation museum, I do believe they managed to
find the worst one possible.

Still, we've made the trip from Iowa several times, and always left wanting
to spend more time there. It's well worth your effort.
