Midwest/East coast trip, day 4

Day 4, the National Museum of the US Air Force














With over 300 aircraft and 17 acres of displays, this museum is absolutely HUGE and should be on every aviation nut's "must see" list. The best part is that most of the display aircraft are located inside which makes for much better quality displays.

We managed to get through the museum in one day but if you want to read all of the information on each display, you'd need at least two.

A highlight was visiting the Presidential aircraft displays and being able to walk through several aircraft that served as Air Force One. In particular, walking through the Boeing 707 that served several Presidents, was an amazing experience. There are not many places where you can experience such a unique piece of American history .

After walking around on concrete for several hours, my legs feel like they've had quite the workout. Time to prop them up and read for a bit. That and check the weather for tomorrow as we head further East. At the moment, things look fairly decent but time will tell where we may have to hunker down for a day or so depending on what hurrican Hanna does up the East coast.
