Great stuff Flash! I need to get back up that way soon. Will you be coming to the OHS Call to Arms on 3 November? We're bringing the M16 halftrack, M1A1 pack howitzer, Willys MB and a bunch of other stuff.

I wish that museum would have been there when I was stationed at Tinker AFB, in 1971 & 1972. I went to the Zoo several times and I think it is on the same road.

Great museum. I interned there in grad school and even had my 7th Birthday party there back when you could climb all over the equipment. I have been going to that museum most my life starting when my older brother was a boy scout and my mom took the troop there and later when I was a boy scout in elementary school. That museum was imperative in my passion ultimately leading to my enlistment in the Marines and my passion for collecting! That museum holds a special place in my heart.

The indoor collection at the museum is awesome. I for one was really suprised when I walked in the door and saw all the displays. It is well worth the trip to see all the wonderful history they have on hand I walked around inside for a couple of hours and could have stayed much longer. And on top of everything else it is free to the public.

Great pics! Thanks for posting

Great vehicle and armor collection, thanks for posting

You guys had a great display today! I wish I would have seen this post earlier, I would have introduced myself. I was the Doughboy helping out! Great show today!

If you go to this museum, do not neglect to pay close attention to the displays INSIDE. Included is a section on Bill Mauldin with some ORIGINAL artwork of his famous drawings.

AND if you can make it, go see the TEXAS NG museum -- almost as good as Okla's.

Thanks for the post. This museum is so on the bucket list.

Was there today. Very well done. A must see if traveling through Oklahoma City.
