Chuck. One of my future plans is to park a motor-home as close as I can to every one of your great museums , and stay until I have had a good look at everything I want to see.

In the meantime , I sure like those pictures. Very nice. Thanks. Somebody put great deal of effort into preserving those aircraft. Wow.

I'm originally from Ohio and would visit the museum 4-5 times a year with my son Nick and anyone that would go with me.....many times by myself.

It's free to the public (yes....we're all paying for it!) .......and everytime I visit.....there's something new. They also have an annex on base that holds the Presidential collection of aircraft and many others that won't fit in the museum yet.

They also hold a WW1 fly in there on the front lawn....lots of WW1 aircraft.....military equipment and lots of actors.

Very fun place if you ever travel through Dayton, Ohio.

That was way fun.
They have an excellent collection of really old birds, some I had never seen before. I'd like to fly them.

Enjoyed the gyros too, and I have never seen in person the round hovercraft.

Most excellent Museum thanks Chuck for taking us with you.

No, only because I'm not big on Mexican food.
