They were all correct!
A great museum, free too! I really don't want to get carried away with airplane pictures, I could!

| R-1820 engine, the 1st aircraft engine I worked on in the Coast Guard |

| This drone is HUGE! It's a Global Hawk, RQ-4A 44' long with a wingspan of 115' |

| A selfie in front of THE Apollo 15 capsule |
 |
| President Kennedy had the 1st jet powered Air Force One This is it. |
All the past "Air Force Ones" are on display, you can walk thru them and see how it was.

| This is where Lyndon Baines Johnson was sworn in as the 36th President. |
We stayed at an Ohio State Park for our Dayton/AF Museum visit, and that was a pleasant stay. The park had a good vibe and leaves a happy feeling when I think of Ohio.
Going north thru the different states, up the middle of the Republic has been good, it freshened the memory I'd had of them. There is a lot of agriculture going on out there!
Just one more airplane picture.....

| An HU-16, that was my first aircraft in the Coast Guard |
I need to get there someday. Nice pictures Rob!
ReplyDeleteThank you, it was a museum worth the trip. I was moved by the Presidential aircraft display.
DeleteOne of the best!
ReplyDeleteYes it is!
DeleteThe Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola is another one if you like planes & flying.
The AF has the history angle with the Presidential aircraft.
Good post Rob,,,,, good pictures.
ReplyDeleteThanks you.
DeleteHow interesting. I liked the picture of you in the space suit.
ReplyDeleteHad never heard of this museum before did not even know there was an official location where older Presidential planes were housed. That in itself would be worth the trip.
The Presidential planes were an unexpected wonder, that was history I remember.
DeleteThe National WWII Museum in New Orleans is supposed to be another museum that is worth the time.
