Went to the USAF Museum this past weekend in Dayton. GREAT place. LOTS of
aviation history in that place. Especially, the X planes and such. Also
has a "Presidential" hanger with most of the past Air Force One's.
(Columbine III, Independence, SAM 26000, etc).

Even walked into one hanger to see the XB-70 Valkyrie staring me down
(wicked looking plane). And among all the other planes, it was almost just
an afterthought ("oh yeah, there's the XB-70, too....ho hum").

If your in the area be sure to get by there. I've been to lots of air
museum's and I'd put that one in the top 2 or 3.

And best of all IT'S FREE!...thanks to the federal government.

I agree with all that! I have been there twice and I live in Bristol
England! Only one thing I would criticise is the rather poor food on
offer! A day is not really enough time to study everything.

A great experience.

Agreed. If your like me - you like to read most everything and study each
exhibit, its definitely a 2 day musuem. We got through it in a day, but we
really didn't look at everything as close as I like.

And yes. The cafeteria food is....well....lacking. It will keep you from
starving to death, but thats about all I can say.
