Anyone ever visit the museum at Hill AFB in Ogden? Saw it this summer -
much better than I would have thought. Not on the scale of Dayton or NASM,
but several large hangars, and quite a few birds weathering outside (pity).

Went to the USAF Museum this past weekend in Dayton. GREAT place. LOTS of
aviation history in that place. Especially, the X planes and such. Also
has a "Presidential" hanger with most of the past Air Force One's.
(Columbine III, Independence, SAM 26000, etc).

Even walked into one hanger to see the XB-70 Valkyrie staring me down
(wicked looking plane). And among all the other planes, it was almost

just
an afterthought ("oh yeah, there's the XB-70, too....ho hum").

If your in the area be sure to get by there. I've been to lots of air
museum's and I'd put that one in the top 2 or 3.

And best of all IT'S FREE!...thanks to the federal government.
