The Strategic Air and Space Museum (formerly the SAC Museum, now
combined with the Society of SAC) is no longer at either Omaha nor
Offutt AFB.

It relocated in 1998 to a site north of Interstate 80 Exit 426, near
Schramm State Park. For those unfamiliar with the map of Nebraska, that
is where I-80 crosses the Platte River, between Omaha and Lincoln.

The warbirdresourcegroup.org photo of Man - O - War does show it as
displayed inside SASM's new indoor facility.


Closer to the Edward T. Mahoney State Park (all use the same exit) and
thereby lies a little know secret. The lodge at Mahoney serves a very good
buffet lunch and the entrance fee at the park added to the cost of the lunch
is still quite reasonable for the quality and there are no other places in
the nearby area to eat. The actual name of the nearest town is Ashland. I
went with a couple of WW-II vets whom I met at the museum.
