USAF Museum - Dayton, Ohio

[blueedge]

I am fortunate enough to be spending a couple of months on holiday in the US of A and one of the places I had to visit whilst here was the USAF Museum in Dayton, Ohio. I have to say it's a brilliant place, lots of very interesting aircraft, especially in the R&D Hangar and I would highly recommend a visit to anyone in the area. It's also free entry which is also a huge bonus considering the number and variety of aircraft on display.

I thought the guys and gal(s) on this forum may appreciate some pictures I took whilst there. The only thing I would say to anyone planning a visit is take a tripod for photography as it's pretty dark inside in places.





































































Comments very welcome.

What the hell is the front of that plane for?

Nice pics though.

That is the Convair NC-131H Total In-Flight Simulator (TIFS) - copying from the info text "Engineers used it as an in-flight simulator to study how an aircraft would fly before building an expensive, full-scale prototype"
