Favorite pictures from the USAF Museum

Hello, I'm sure there is a page on the USAF Museum already started but I thought I would share some of my favorite pictures I took while touring the museum. I was fortunately able to visit the museum while driving from Michigan to North Carolina for Christmas break. It is located in Dayton, Ohio and I would definitely recommend visiting museum if you have not done so. One of the best ones I have seen.

Among my favorite places. Can't wait to take my little boy.

You have some nice shots here. Everywhere you turn in that museum there is another photo to take.

 

My brother and I spent two full days there and still did not see everything. I came home with about 1200 photos and I am still sorting through them.

 

For those who cannot get there, they have a wonderful website full of period photos as well as views of most of the exhibits.

They also feature a very well done virtual tour. It is a bit dated as it does not include the new 4th hanger, but it covers WWI to the Cold War.
