I have been a volunteerunteer at the USAFM for over four years. The place is fantastic. 23 acres of historical airplanes under roof.

The musuem is laid out as a walk through aviation history. Starting with the Wright brothers era moving forward into World War II, Korean war, Viet Nam era, missiles in space, the Cold War era and finally the new hanger with the presidential planes and research and development planes.

All the planes are fascinating but my favorites are the plane that dropped the second atomic bomb on Japan that brought about the end to World War II. Also the XB-70 Valkyrie, Apollo 15 Moon capsule, and the first Soviet MIG fighter acquired by the United States. They also have a stealth bomber and a B-52 on display.

Plan on spending several hours (some visitors return the next day).

The museum is open 9 to 5 every day of the year except Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years day.

The museum is free of charge so come enjoy this world class venue in Dayton Ohio.
