Beautiful,
well
planned
museum.
Stopped
by
during
a
visit
of
friends
in
Dayton.
Spent
a
few
hours
wandering
among
the
exhibits,
was
very
impressed.
The
first
thing
is
the
museum
is
free.
Just
like
any
of
the
Smithsonian
museums
in
Washington
DC.
Kind
of
nice
for
the
military/government
to
give
a
piece
of
something
back,
especially
with
all
the
money
that
has
been
dumped
into
the
military
in
our
history.
Not
making
a
dig
on
the
military
as
my
wife
and
I
are
both
retired
Air
Force,
just
nice
to
see
something
that
the
public
can
access
and
that
doesn't
cost
anything
to
do
so.
The
Museum
is
laid
out
in
in
various
very
large
buildings,
that
if
you
follow
the
guide,
take
you
from
the
very
beginnings
of
aviation
to
the
present
day,
with
specific
buildings/layouts
for
Early
Years,
World
War
II,
Korean
War,
Cold
War,
etc.
You
can
wander
among
the
exhibits
or
stop
and
read
all
the
information
until
your
heart
is
content.
Along
the
way
there
are
many
other
"side"
exhibits
such
as
the
collection
of
WW
II
aviators
jackets,
or
the
evolution
of
USAF
flight
clothing.
They
do
a
very
good
job
of
presenting
history,
and
even
with
a
couple
young
children
along,
there
are
lots
of
interactive
station
for
the
kids
to
keep
them
interested.
Another
great
area
for
the
kids
is
the
motion
simulator
area,
where
they
have
a
couple
rides.
These
do
cost,
currently
$10,
but
are
fun
for
the
kids
(as
well
as
some
of
us
older
kids).
There
are
a
lot
of
"hands
on"
displays
and
cockpits
throughout
the
museum
that
you
can
crawl
into
and
feel
what
it
was
to
sit
inside
one
of
these
amazing
airplanes.
There
are
two
food
areas,
a
cafe
and
a
"shop-n-snack"
available,
as
well
as
a
very
large
gift
shop,
along
with
a
large
theatre
where
they
show
a
couple
different
:45-:50
minute
shows
throughout
the
day.
(These
cost
$10
at
this
time)
Overall,
can't
say
enough
good
things
about
this
great
museum.
Would
I
go
back...absolutely!
Would
I
recommend...most
definitely!
