Another great idea, to see some of the old history of the United States. Visiting the museum helps keep our historical lesson, for our future children.

Hanging out at your local air museum is a my idea of heaven on earth. Nor. Cal., Castle AFB has a SR-71 and a B-36, Sacramento has 2 major air force bases which have been shuttered but have great local museums with plenty of static airpower on display. I think the only thing better than hanging out at a museum is reading back copies of Smithsonian Air & Space.

Strange to hear all these stories with old AF bases now closed, it truly was a different era.We I recall seeing B-52's and fighters daily on approach to McClellan AFB, which was the nearest and largest maintenance base for the Vietnam campaign. Two of my neighbors worked as civilian electricians and airframe specialist at McClellan and made a great living. Just wondering if those days are truly over with the expected military build up.

Ahhhh, yes. Aircraft museums. I love aircraft museums and I have spent many many hours at them both here in the US and also in the UK. I've been to Castle AFB Museum, Travis AFB and the Aerospace Museum of California. If any of you get the chance if you visit the UK there are two museums not to miss. First the RAF Museum at Hendon just on the outskirts of London and second, which in my opinion is better is the Shuttleworth Collection. Please see the link below. Anyone who has a passion for old aircraft and flight will revel in this magnificent collection of rare and historic aircraft and they all fly. It really is a heaven on earth if you like old aircraft.
Martin.
