My wife and I were stationed at Robins AFB from 1982 to 1985 and the museum was being built when we left. Thanks for the tour. We will put this on our list of stops on our trip later this year.
My dad was stationed at Warner Robins, I met my husband there and I graduated from high school there. This video brought back some nice memories, thanks.
I love all of your videos and would rather watch them than just about anything on TV. But as an Air Force veteran, this is my favorite. I love that museum and you did such a great job showing it. The history and function of the SR-71 is amazing. The F-15 is so cool....but the power and the agility of the A-10 makes it my favorite. Thank you again...and God bless!
My Dad was a B-17 nose gunner in the 8th ArmyAirforce stationed in England flying over Germany. I had his winter coat like the one you showed on the radio operator. It was extremely heavy and very warm lined with the virgin wool.
Just stopped by there this evening while visiting the area ro see friends. Love the videos. Driving through Macon on way to Atlanta and wanted to say hi.
During the WWII my grandfather's furniture factory produced the crates to ship plane engines. My Mother, who was born in 37, remembers walking into the crates.
I work on the Base, along with everyone else in Warner Robins. I get over there a few times a year, but I haven't been through the whole thing. Thanks for the video and advertising.
Glad to share Jim Bo. Great stop and wonderful asset for the area and anyone interested in aviation. The board, volunteers and all involved do a great job.
It is a wonderful place. I first saw this while stationed there 83-87 (5th MOB). Back then it was just one small building. Amazing how it has grown. The C-5 display outside was brought to the museum from the boneyard in Arizona. A friend on mine was on the crew that went out there to get it ready for a onetime flight to WRAFB for the museum. Beautiful place, and a great collection and presentation. Another wonderful video. Good Job I Love RV Life.
Thanks Tim. The museum has grown substantially. The displays are really something and great to see the care and effort by all involved to restore these amazing aircraft.
Reminds me of the National Museum of the Air Force in Dayton OH. My son, an AF Vet, went there with us a couple years ago. We plan on making a trip to see the Georgia Aquarium and then on to Savannah this spring. Might have to add a detour for this. Thanks for the video.
Hope you get a chance to visit. About 20 minutes from Macon using the I475 bypass. When you leave the museum, a short drive on highway 96 places you south of Macon back on your way.
Every time we go to a rally in Perry, we go there. T-33 was used as a training plane. I was a nav on B-52D during Vietnam 72-73, G models where at Robin's during that time.
Avid RV'er (Airstream 190) and aviation enthusiast -- put them together, and the results are three RV Chapter Rallies at the Champaign Aviation Museum, the Mid-Eastern Regional Fly-In and the Memphis Bell roll-out event in Urbana, Ohio. I'm also a volunteer at the CAM -- building parts for the B-17 historic re-creation.
Thanks for sharing and for your service! I, too, was in the Air Force (75-98) and an aviation nut. Spent many years on the f/l as a SP and saw (guarded) many a/c. My two favorites were the F-111 and EF-111. I could go on and one. When I need an a/c fix, I like to go to Dayton. Great video and thanks for allowing me to virtually walk around with you and reminisce.
I Love RV Life Wright Pat has 4 hangers and a casual stroll takes about 3 hours. A must see is the XB-70. Plenty of parking and space for RVs. Free admission. By chance, any plans for an Oregon visit to the coast or Crater Lake?
Wouldn’t it be great to have one of those vintage leather jackets! Maybe we’ll have the opportunity to wear a jacket sometime this year. Was 70 in January when we visited.
Love to see the military planes, especially those from WWII. I’m always looking for the B-17 and B-29 since my dad was a tail gunner in those planes during WWII. If we’re in the area we will definitely check out the museum. Thanks for an excellent video.
Thank you for the video! You did mis-name a few aircraft, the C-131 is actually a C-130, What you called a EC-12 is an EC-121 but that is nit picking. The suspended helicopter is a MH-53 Pave Low. That exact helicopter I was forward deployed with in Desert Storm. I have been to the Museum at Warner Robbins a few times. Spent 15 years in the Air Force as an Aircraft Structural Repair troop till I was medically retired. Worked on a bunch of planes. A-7D, A-10 (23rd TFW Flying Tigers), F-16, F-15, C-130, HC-130, MC130, HH-3, HH-53, MH53, MH-60, C-141, F-4 (C,D,E,G models in Depot at Hill AFB), F-111, and C-5 in Transit Alert, KC-135 while deployed to Turkey. B-17, B-29, F-101 in Museum at Hill AFB, and Battle Damage Repair training on F-80 / T-33s. Loved my time in the Air Force till the later years when things got political and there was a lot of back stabbing. Still GREAT memories
Hi Johnny. It’s free! Isn’t that something! Amazing place. No boondocking, but a great campground off I475 from the link in the video. $22 to $24 a night for a great spot next to the lake. The Walmart in Perry was allowing overnights.
If you're ever on I-75 in Ohio, check out the National Museum of the Air Force at Wright Patterson Air Force base. It is the oldest and largest aviation museum in the world. www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/
👍👍👌👌
Look at this!
Cool huh!

Nice video
Thanks.

Hi Lynda. Wow, those are deep roots in Warner Robins. Glad we could bring you along.

Thanks a bunch Lee. Glad we could bring you along. Great museum with so much to see.
My Dad was a B-17 nose gunner in the 8th ArmyAirforce stationed in England flying over Germany. I had his winter coat like the one you showed on the radio operator. It was extremely heavy and very warm lined with the virgin wool.
Wow Ron. What a great piece of history. Your dad was a hero in my book.
Just stopped by there this evening while visiting the area ro see friends. Love the videos. Driving through Macon on way to Atlanta and wanted to say hi.
Thanks Ben. Hope you had a good visit. Safe travels.
During the WWII my grandfather's furniture factory produced the crates to ship plane engines. My Mother, who was born in 37, remembers walking into the crates.
I can only imagine the stories shared.
We went Dayton Ohio that museum was fun too we need to hit that one next ty Jerry
Hi Terri. We definitely have Wright Pat on our travel list for the future.

Love the F-15A worked on them from 1977 to 1988 nice aircraft at Luke AFB, AZ, Elemandorf AFB, AK and Holloman AFB, NM.
They are amazing aircraft. Have a close friend that worked on the F-15 electronics at Robins for a number of years.
My first aircraft was the C-141A from 1966 to 1972.
We were at a camper show yesterday. Ran into a pilot that flew the C-141s both active and reserves. He shared a ton of great stories.
Every time we go to a rally in Perry, we go there. T-33 was used as a training plane. I was a nav on B-52D during Vietnam 72-73, G models where at Robin's during that time.
We'll need to catch up next time you're in Perry.

Nothing better than big shiny things! Glad you found the channel Michael.
WOW! That's on my bucket list. My dad flew many of those between 1941 to 1955 retired Cpt. SAC.
Hope you get a chance to visit. One of the best museums we’ve seen in our travels.
Thanks for sharing and for your service!

Not this year. We’re thinking about a Grand Canyon thru Vegas loop later in the year.
Thanks so much for sharing. I've always wanted to stop there and now I will.
Such a nice place Sam. Hope you get a chance to visit soon.
Ooh now I want to go!
Cool place Brandon. Hope you get a chance to visit.
*This museum was first class....very interesting....you should start wearing a bomber jacket😉*
Wouldn’t it be great to have one of those vintage leather jackets! Maybe we’ll have the opportunity to wear a jacket sometime this year. Was 70 in January when we visited.
@@iLoveRVlife It would be much better to have a ride in that black bird SR-71
Johnny, they had a video showing the pilots flying. That is a wild bunch!
@@iLoveRVlife You would look great with one on
Try visiting sac museum in asland,ne. You can get really close
We’ll need to add that to our list. Thanks.
If you love this, another don't miss is the Naval Air Museum at Pensacola Fl, home of the Blue Angels.
Thanks. We’ll definitely add the Pensacola NAS museum to our list.
😁👍😊
Thanks

Loved my time in the Air Force till the later years when things got political and there was a lot of back stabbing. Still GREAT memories
Hi Dennis. Thanks for the clarifications. Each are amazing air craft. Appreciate your service.
What is the cost to get in.Nice video.And can you boon dock in the parking lot.
Hi Johnny. It’s free! Isn’t that something! Amazing place. No boondocking, but a great campground off I475 from the link in the video. $22 to $24 a night for a great spot next to the lake. The Walmart in Perry was allowing overnights.
Love me some Wart Hog!
Me too! One tough bird and guys that fly them.
Another excellent adventure. Thanks for taking us along! Did you have to go through any extra security to get on base?
Hi Thomas. Glad you could come along. This is at the corner of the base and outside the gates. The museum is open to the public.
thought the first bird was a f14
Maybe Jim, could have read the sign wrong.
If you're ever on I-75 in Ohio, check out the National Museum of the Air Force at Wright Patterson Air Force base. It is the oldest and largest aviation museum in the world.

Hi Danny. Always wanted to visit Wright Pat. One day....
