The National Museum of the United States Air Force located on Wright Patterson Air Force base in Dayton, Ohio is not to be missed. I live in a suburb of Dayton, Ohio and have visited the museum a number of times over the years. It claims to be “The world’s largest and oldest military aviation museum”. When I worked in public accounting a lifetime ago I even worked on the financial audit. I hope these pictures give you a little sense of some of the incredible airplanes and history of aviation captured here. The museum has a number of hangars and I think something for everyone. They cover all eras of flight and even have an area containing various military missiles and spacecraft. One of the highlights for me is the former Air Force One plane that carried President Kennedy back from Texas after he was tragically shot. You can walk inside and stand right where Jackie Kennedy sat for that flight home. A sad piece of American History.
