    The National Museum of the United States Air Force is in Dayton, Ohio. Along with absolutely nothing else.

    This is good, because it means they have lots of space. Eight giant hangers plus outdoor exhibits.

    image

    Half of one of the hangers is filled with just one giant plane though.

    image

    There is a separate taller building for rockets.

    image

    They have the original wind tunnel that Orville Wright used in 1916. It is very small.

    image

    They also have a section of the Berlin Wall, which doesn’t seem to be related to airplanes at all.

    image

    And some people using a Trabi to climb over the Berlin Wall. Aircraft would actually have been helpful here, so maybe that’s the tie-in?

    image

    They also had a lot of planes.

    This plane is pink.

    This is Dwight Eisenhower’s plane.

    image

    The pilot’s seats do not look very comfortable.

    image

    The passenger seats look slightly more comfortable.

    image

    This is Matt spying on Roosevelt’s plane.

    image

    His pilots were slightly more comfortable.

    image

    His passengers were much more comfortable.

    image

    Though the beds still look pretty bad.

    image

    This is a blimp.

    image
