Default Air & Space Museum

Ack! (And I mean that in a Bloom County Opus way)

What's this? Bill the Cat masquerading as Pete Duniho? G

It's been a few years since I've been to DC and the Smithsonian, can't
wait to check out the U-H annex. Last time I was there the Enola Gay
exhibit was dumbed down to just displaying the 60ft fuselage and a
historical perspective on the A-bomb. Don't know what all the fuss over
this exhibit was about - IMO it was very low-key and respectful. I'd
like to see the EG complete as it is now like Bock's Car at the AF
Museum in Dayton. (Got a personal tour there a few years ago from the
colonel whose Saratoga I ferried out from CT)

Of all the museums I've been to: AZ's Pima A&S, Champlin Fighter
Museum, NY's Intrepid Air & Space Museum, American Airpower Museum,
National Warplane Museum, FL's Naval Aviation Museum at Pensacola and
Flying Tigers Resto Museum, RI's Quonset Air Museum, the New England
Air Museum here in CT - all have impressed me with their acft displays
because (most) weren't over-restored and shiny but looked more or less
as they served. My goal is to eventually hit all the major museums in
the US. I guess that leaves Weeks' Fantasy of Flight, Planes of Fame,
CAF museum in Midland TX, and PA's Mid-Atlantic Air Museum. Which
others have I missed?
