This museum is literally my favorite place on the planet Earth. It is FANTASTIC! Every aviation nerd should make plans to attend. Literally stop what you are doing and buy tickets to Dayton.
I'm replying to myself here.....mortgage your house and buy tickets to Dayton. This place is pure magic. GO THERE! Plan on spending a full day or two there.
I’ve lived with 20min of this museum my entire life, my kids and I go at least once a month! Having the B-2 and the F-22 is amazing, and the fact the museum is absolutely free is unbelievable!!
It’s been some years since I have been to this museum as they have added another hanger since then. Can definitely spend the whole day there, I mean get there when the doors open and you’ll have to rush to see it all. What also shocked me was that admission was free!! Love this place.
Such an amazing place & took two full days back in 2016 to spend quality time in this museum. Special for me was seeing 'Bock's Car', as my late father was a POW approx 30 miles from Nagasaki when A2 was dropped. A very moving visit for me that day at the museum. Thank you to all concerned for the opportunity to see such a wonderful collection.
I really do appreciate these long videos. This is very educational. I plan to show my daughters your hard work, and take them to the Dayton museum when they get older. I live in Ohio so this is very easy for me. I really appreciate that you traveled so far.
My father was career Air Force as a Master Sergeant. I recall our tour in Germany at Spangdahlem AFB 1953-1956. They flew RF84F recon and recon Canberra RB-57. In addition they had F-86 fighters and A-26 Invaders. I was in the second grade at the time and always enjoyed seeing the aircraft up close. I have been to the Air Force museum some years back. It has changed somewhat. Thank you for the tour and revisit.
Wow what a treat to wake up to on Saturday morning! You kept your promise to publish these before Christmas day. That XB-70 is my highlight! having all of those other aircraft around it shows how big it is!
Thanks alot for these museum tour videos, Paul. They were the direct inspiration for me to include 2 full days at the National Museum of the USAF during my recent trip to the States in October 2024. I spent 2x 7 hour days at this museum, and I still lacked enough time to do any justice to the “Early Years” gallery, nor any time to see the outdoor “Air Park”. It was a great experience. I really appreciated the various enemy aircraft that were also on display, and I really enjoyed the WW2 & Southeast Asia War galleries more than I thought I would. However, with the often very dim gallery lighting, I’m glad I brought a photographic tripod with me. It also makes me have better appreciation of the camera work of content creators like yourself; taking pictures here was not easy! My time here also helps me understand the considerable time you must spend putting these videos together.
I had many opportunities to visit this museum, and regret not having done so. In my air force flying career, I flew some of the 100 series fighters, and have seen all the production versions on the ramp at various bases. Other than the nostalgia factor, what I found amazing here, is all the other research aircraft on display. I thought there were other fighter prototypes on display at this museum, and am disappointed at not getting the opportunity to see them. I was lucky enough, to get a tour of Cape Kennedy in 1972, and seeing the space capsules on display here, brought back feelings of nostalgia. Thank you, for taking the time to do the tour, I look forward to seeing more of your aviation videos.
Your guided tour of Dayton is an inspiration. I've followed your channel for years and appreciate the efforts you make in production. The long duration makes for absorbing watching. Keep up the good work!
I hope you get to the Nuclear bomb museum at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Long duration tour including stills of posters and description signage welcome.
The RF-4C at 15:36 came from the Air National Guard in Birmingham Alabama (117th TRW), which was right next door to my old Army National Guard Aviation unit (131st Aviation) at Birmingham Airport. They were last used in Desert Storm and shortly afterwards, turned into a KC-135 unit. My unit and the 117th were of some historic significance, as the 117th had some of, if not THE last F-4’s used in military service in the US, where we had the last CH-54B Tarhe’s (Skycranes) in military service before we got the Chinooks. On NBC Channel 13 news at 10 PM out of Birmingham back in the day, the start of the evening news had video clips of the Birmingham area, with the first clip being a pair of those F-4’s taking off in full afterburner. I was privileged enough to take a ride in the back seat of one before they went to Davis-Monthan and museums when I was 19-20 years old. 😊
I never realized how large this museum is. Wow, the number, uniqueness and sizes of the aircraft is astonishing. I will need to take a roadtrip from Phila, to see it.
I grew up just a few miles from the museum and remember well watching it get built. It's now MUCH MUCH larger than back then. If a trip there is on your agenda be sure to wear sensible shoes. The place makes a giant shopping mall seem like a phone booth in comparison. 😂
I was Lucky to Visit the most amazing Aviation Museum several times and want to give a Big Thank You to Paul for Vlogging and adding so much History on every Aircraft shown!!!
Thanks for the walk-around tour - I can't believe how many aircraft are packed in there! I still think the Nighthawk and Blackbird look like they were pulled straight out of a sci-fi movie.
Thanks Paul, I haven't seen these planes since my dad took us there back in the early 70's when the planes were outside, I mostly remember the B-24 "Strawberry Bitch" (which dad flew one of those in the war) and the XB-70 and how hot it was out on the tarmac.
Very good basic tour, a lot like it was on my last trip thee in 2015. I might also mention I grew up about 15 miles away and remember the original museum that was part of the active base on the edge of Fairborn, OH, back in the 1950s.
Yes, I really enjoy the longer formats. Perhaps because I have a GENERAL knowledge of at least the existence of the vast majority of these planes. The longer formats give more detail which I appreciate.
I have not been to Dayton since they added the last building. I hope that the stuff that was on display at the building you took a bus to made it to display many small things in the wing .Some unique things were there as well as the. planes
@@PaulStewartAviation that’s gonna be a banger video. Hard work pays off, I wouldn’t be surprised if you start getting special clearance on other aircraft not available to the public.
hopefully! Dayton let me film over the barriers and underneath the aircraft although sadly the Smithsonian didn't. Alas the footage is all from behind the barriers but that's all OK.
Really enjoyed your tour, Paul! Thank you for all the time and effort you put into producing this! I was especially gratified to see the Gemini-B that was used for the MOL program. My dad worked for Martin Marietta and worked with the astronauts on that program. During that program, my parents hosted a bridge party at our home in Littleton, CO for the astronauts and other colleagues, which I still vaguely remember. I went around getting the signatures of the astronauts on a photo that already had autographs of NASA astronauts in Mercury, Gemini and Apollo. Several of the MOL astronauts went on to the shuttle program (Gordon Fullerton, Dick Truly, Bob Crippen, Karol Bobko, John Young...)
I've been to the AF Museum many years ago. It's nice to see how they updated everything. You showed all kinds of jets but I was waiting for the A-7 D Corsair 2. I worked on Es back in the Navy and the D was the Air Force Version. They were used extensively in Vietnam in the late 60s and 70s. Go to the Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola Florida to see one and others are scattered around the country. Other than that, I can't wait to see some of your other videos.
I came across this video & how lucky it was. 😍 If you wanna look at every military plane made, almost,you will be delighted.This is part 2, so check out part one. This guy obviously knows his planes with a brief but effective description on each plane. Just loved it. Well done, and thanks for sharing. You should be proud of your work. You Tube Gold in my book, Buddy, Slainte 👍 ❤
Anyone old enough to remember the first version of this museum can really appreciate the ever-expanding facility. You don't have to be a military buff to enjoy the history of flight.
As a german firstly i thought, ok US museum standard. But they have all the historically important planes. Thank god this terribly german time is over but it is important to have the history documented.
I appreciate these videos I just came back from the Air Force Museum. It's truly overwhelming you could probably do two more videos just on the remaining aircraft and Exhibits
My father began flying Air Force planes in WW2. In his 28 year career he flew many different kind of planes. His last was a C-130 in and out of every dirt landing strip in SE Asia. He called it the best plane he ever flew. To show you how tough they are he came home a stretcher but alive.
This museum is only about an hour half drive from me and the wife and i went early last year. Its crazy how its in the middle of nowhere Ohio. One of the easiest recommendations.
Excellent video, Paul! I can never get enough of the XB-70. We all appreciate all your hard work. In Part 1, what's with colours on the Republic F-84E Thunderjet?
Thank you Paul Stewart for your excellent aviation videos I’ve been a subscriber from a long time ago . I wish I could visit some of these museums although I have been to the Darwin Aviation Museum and love it although it’s small compared to some of the museums elsewhere .Everytime I go to Darwin I always go to the museum and the last time I went they had the FA 18 . My interest in military aviation started when I lived in Madras India where we lived very close to the Air Force Station and this was in the 60s when dehavilland Vampires were based there . My favourite is the C 17 with the B52 a close second . Thank you and cheers from Melbourne.
Great 2 part video. Loved seeing the oddball planes such as those at the end. Especially that last one shown outside. Here's to another 20-30 years of videos so you can show us the XB-37 ;-)
At 35:12 Paul states that the KC-135 tanker was modified to become the 707 airliner. This is a common myth. Actually, both are siblings, both are parallel developments of a demonstrator 4-jet transport, the Boeing 367-80. Boeing built the 367-80 to demonstrate to airlines, as none would buy a jet airliner "off the plan". Although the KC-135 and the 707 look the same (except for windows), the only things they share are the aerodynamic design and the 4-engines under wing configuration. They are structurally different.
Binging on these vids 😁😛. I hope you one day get to create a video tour of the Central Airforce Museum in Monino Russia. That will be a many part series for sure.
Really good tour I have loved aircraft since I was a boy. You showed many vehicles you do not see often. I bet you were sore you covered a lot of territory
Interesting I was at Torrance airport and in the gated area where the Museum of Flight keeps some of its aircraft and talking to a guy inside he said part of the reason the F-22 won was because the air force didn't want Northrup side tracked with F-23 production, they had their hands full developing the B-2 Spirit he said. Inside next to him was the only other YF-23. They were going to scrap it but the employee's who built it petition to have it saved. He said the state of California owns it and has Torrance's museum as care taker of the fighter for now.
This museum is literally my favorite place on the planet Earth. It is FANTASTIC! Every aviation nerd should make plans to attend. Literally stop what you are doing and buy tickets to Dayton.
I'm replying to myself here.....mortgage your house and buy tickets to Dayton. This place is pure magic. GO THERE! Plan on spending a full day or two there.
The museum is free :)
Buy a plane ticket is what I meant. @@PaulStewartAviation
@oisiaa Also go to the best amusement parks on the planet Kings Island and Cedar Point.
Just drove 5 hours to go check it out. Plenty of one of kind aircraft there and I believe it’s definitely worth the trip
I’ve lived with 20min of this museum my entire life, my kids and I go at least once a month! Having the B-2 and the F-22 is amazing, and the fact the museum is absolutely free is unbelievable!!
Anyone else watch these back to back? OMGoodness what a geek overload. Fantastic vids. Cheers and thanks.
Cheers! You must be sick of my voice!! 😂😂
I can’t stop watching!!!!!
It’s been some years since I have been to this museum as they have added another hanger since then. Can definitely spend the whole day there, I mean get there when the doors open and you’ll have to rush to see it all. What also shocked me was that admission was free!! Love this place.
A10 introduction was amazing

Born and raised at WPAFB thanks for the tour brings back many memories of my childhood my dad worked on the EF-111😊
Glad you enjoyed it
This is what youtube is all about for me. Discovering the world in its finest detail. Thanks!
Your guided tour of Dayton is an inspiration. I've followed your channel for years and appreciate the efforts you make in production. The long duration makes for absorbing watching. Keep up the good work!
Thanks!
Absolutely stunning work for a stunning collection. Thank you. This truly needs to be used *officially* by the museum itself!
Many thanks!
Agreed!!
I hope you get to the Nuclear bomb museum at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Long duration tour including stills of posters and description signage welcome.

My pleasure!
I live about an hour away and have been there many times...if you're an aviation enthusiast, this is a must visit.
The tour is so well done you would do a great job guiding real visitors through the museum!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I was lucky enough to visit this museum in 1998, not enough time, every aircraft in there has its' own fascinating story.
I do love these videos, it encompasses the entire history of flight! This one in particular is what I would consider the grand daddy of them all.
Yeah it was hard to stop watching after I started also. Your added history makes everything that much more special. TYVM great work!!!
You are so welcome! I’m off the PIMA, duxford, cosford, nebraska and planes of fame later this year :)
I really appreciate you for doing these videos. I am love Military aviation and have never been able to visit there. Thanks.
I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I really like these videos you
should keep making them you do a really good job explaining everything about bombers and fire gets really good😊
Thanks, will do!
You are welcome
Omg the time and effort and information you have put into this is astounding.
Excellent!! Thank you! This place is on my Bucket List.
You should!
Been watching this off and on for a week now! Really enjoyed the video!!!!
Awesome! Thank you!
Well done as per usual. Love watching your videos and I appreciate the hard work.
Thank you! Cheers!
An absolutely wonderful tour. The Cold War Gallery was my favorite when I visited. Thank you!

I will probably never get the opportunity to visit this museum so your videos are excellent & very informative & interesting…. Cheers
Amazing videos. I feel like I was there with you telling me about each plane.
Glad you enjoyed it!
The Wright Brothers invented flight from Dayton. Enjoy your visit
We went from 6.8 mph to 2500+mph in like 60 years
Best museum for military aviation .... plan on at least 2 days visiting this location .... as it easily takes 8 to15 hrs at a good pace
Great video! Thank-you for making both parts. I am an aviation junkie, but I learned a whole lot more from these presentations.!
I love the videos of the air force plains. I use to be in the air Force.!!!!!!!!!!!!
Paul, great job part 1 and 2. Keep going
Thanks, will do!
I really appreciate the long format vids! (And all the others, too...)
Cheers!
More to come!
oh my yes your long format tours are awesome!
I appreciate these videos I just came back from the Air Force Museum. It's truly overwhelming you could probably do two more videos just on the remaining aircraft and Exhibits
Well done Sir. Your effort is greatly appreciated.
It's my pleasure
Amazing tour Paul! I can only imagine how much effort editting/voice over has taken, thank you for this!
Glad you enjoyed it. Yes it took longer than I thought it would :D
My father began flying Air Force planes in WW2. In his 28 year career he flew many different kind of planes. His last was a C-130 in and out of every dirt landing strip in SE Asia. He called it the best plane he ever flew. To show you how tough they are he came home a stretcher but alive.
Came home on a stretcher
Fantastic! I learned a lot.
Great to hear!
This was a fantastic video that I enjoyed very much.
Glad to hear it!
I love these long duration tours!
Glad to hear! Im working on the Smithsonian one now
Yes keep up the long tour format very much enjoying them
Glad you like them!
This museum is only about an hour half drive from me and the wife and i went early last year. Its crazy how its in the middle of nowhere Ohio. One of the easiest recommendations.
Great video. I'd like to see a video of the Naval Aviation museum next. Compare Navy Jets to Air Force Jets.
Yep the navy museum is on my list :)
Great video. The building is massive.
My legs were very by the time I left! :D It's massive!
Excellent video, Paul! I can never get enough of the XB-70. We all appreciate all your hard work. In Part 1, what's with colours on the Republic F-84E Thunderjet?

I definitely need to go there! Thanks for the video!
Really good tour I have loved aircraft since I was a boy. You showed many vehicles you do not see often. I bet you were sore you covered a lot of territory
Yes my legs were sore for a few days 😂
