The US Air Force Museum

This weekend, aceofspace was visiting Dayton, Ohio for a ham-radio convention. So Saturday, I drove up to Dayton to hang out with him and visit the National Museum of the US Air Force.

Normally, I'm not much into planes and such, but the museum does an amazing job weaving the history of the airplane along with the history of the time. We walked around for three hours plus through three giant hangers and still didn't see everything.

While aceofspace is more interested in planes, I was fascinated with the artwork on the planes, particularly those from WW II. It's a good time and there's no fee for anything, which surprised me a great deal.

Great pictures. Nose Art is a fascinating subject.

I love that place! My parents took me there when I was a kid. I love planes.

Thanks for a memory reboot. ;-)

And, that pic of you listening to the wind tunnel? Hawtness. Arms looking nice! ;-)

Really cool shots! Easy to see the fascination - and why you'd be interested in the artwork. I've discovered that if you happen to be in the military and they find out you can draw, you get recruited for various art projects ;0)
Obviously you knew exactly the right thing to wear on this excursion - lookin' sharp!
