I've been to the museum a total of 7 times since 1987. My Boy Scout troop goes every 2-3 years. (We were just there in March.) For a while, each time I visited, the museum was bigger than the time before. To say that I love it would be an understatement! The museum holds a special place in my heart.❤ Bill Troskey, Air Force veteran, 1978-1982 🇺🇸✈️💙
In the early 70s 4 of us CAP cadets got to stay on Wright- Pat AFB for a weekend which included a day at the AF Museum. It looks like it's much bigger now. I currently live 3 miles from the AF Museum on Robins AFB in Georgia which may not be as big but excellent nonetheless.
Another great video! I have a suggestion--there are always items that are not on exhibit. In one of the milestone years in the future, why not plan a traveling exhibit with some of those items not currently on display to show the public and create interest for the USAF Museum. These TH-cam videos could be used to drum up interest for the traveling exhibit too.
Been there more times I can recall, starting back when it was just one building. Air Force vet from 1984-1991, and one of the aircraft I directly worked on is in this video starting at around 7:45 - the F-111F from RAF Lakenheath (the LN on the tail), aircraft #448, with the "48" enlarged and highlighted to represent the 48th Tactical Fighter Wing based at RAF Lakenheath, as well as the wing commander's aircraft. I was a weapons loader there from 1984-1987.
Just there yesterday for my umpteenth visit. First one was in 1982 as a young boy. Coming back soon for the SAR exhibit and to see the refurbished Jenny. ❤NMUSAF!! P.S. Great production as always.
im flying to us in april 2024 and ill be in some aviation museums but i wont make it to yours which im really sad because im flying to orlando +new york+ DC...

Congratulations!! You're an international asset in the aviation history sphere. Long may that continue!
I toured in 1961 when planes were out in a parking lot.
I remember the B-24 Strawberry Bitch out there, so faded.
One of the best aviation museums in the world! I’ve been there several times and can’t wait to go back again!!
I've been there one time and it's not enough. I'd love to go back!!
I was in the audience when Pres. Nixon dedicated the new Museum. watched that procession of aircraft, was way cool

It's now about 19 acres!
