Tami and I visited the US Air Force Museum near Dayton Ohio the other day. They have really changed it from the last time we visited several years ago. It is outstanding!
We spent about 3.5 hours there and didn't see everything. You can go inside a lot of the aircraft on display. Its still free and well worth your time. Check in at the main museum entrance and get a map of the museum, it will list all of the aircraft on display and where to find them. a Small donation for the map. The IMAX theater is outstanding as well and they will give you a schedule of what is playing and when. Don't forget about the outside exhibits, US 8th Army Air Force control tower and quonset huts. All of the museum is now in one place so you do not have to take a bus across the base to see the Presidential aircraft.. I shot a YouTube of our visit, I could have made it several hours long..
For Military Retirees' they have a nice campground on base, I saw a YouTube of it. Might want to check it out. We are not eligible as I didn't retire. Wish I had!
We try to visit as many military sites as we can or are allowed, to take in a museum, since I was in the Navy 75-81
In our travels we have visited these ship memorials or museums,
USS Cavalla SS-244, USS Stewart DE-238, USS Texas BB-35, USS Lexington CV-16, USS Yorktown CV-10, USS Laffey DD-724, PT 617, USS Massachusetts BB-59, Joseph P Kennedy Jr. DD-850. USS Arizona BB-39 Memorial. We have plans this year to visit USS Alabama BB-60 and USS Wisconsin BB-64.
While in the Navy and on 3 Westpac cruises, and several pineapple cruises, we transitioned to the far Pacific through Pearl Harbor. Been there many times, one of these days I hope to get back to Pearl and again visit the Arizona Memorial and visit the Missouri for the first time.
Also in our travels, military places or museums we have visited,
PIMA Air and Space Museum, Kirkland AFB, Ft Sill Army Base and Museum, National Museum of Nuclear Science and History, WPAFB Wright Patterson AFB National Museum of the US Air Force, Grissom (Bunker Hill) AFB and Museum.
Grissom AFB, now a reserve base, is also a Harvest Host site and is situated close to the outside aircraft museum.
