Thanks for the pictures from Dayton. You did a good job coping with the uneven lighting. It's always a challenge getting decent photos at an aviation museum.

The fourth display hall is due to open soon, so it may be worthwhile revisiting as I have not been to the USAF museum for quite a while.

Cheers,

Indrek Aavisto

The fourth hall will contain the presidential and research aircraft
currently displayed in the hangers across WP Field from the new
museum.


Can someone advise me as to when the new hall will be open ? I'm quite
often in the US, near Pittsburgh, and plan to drive to Dayton for a few
days at some point. I need to see the XB-70 before I expire.

Regards
Paul

Thank you, Charles. I'd heard there was an official opening date, but
some people had cast doubt as to whether the hall would be completed in
time. June 8th would be well in time for my next visit in September.
