It’s cold, The sky is gray, and it's starting to rain, I must be near Syracuse.

Columbus, United States


The final stop on our tour... Maybe. I've wanted to make a trip to this museum for several years. I've always heard it is the best Air Museum that there is, and I do agree. I have been to a lot of other Air Museums and this one dwarfs them all, including the Smithsonian and the Naval Aviation Museum. I swear they must have one of every plane the Air Force has ever flown, and a few that they shot down. There are three hangers full of planes. To give you an idea of how big these hangers are. In one hanger they have a B52 Bomber (a huge plane) plus about 200 other planes, all in the one hanger.

In the WWI - WWII hanger they have the B29 Bockscar. This is the plane that dropped the second Atomic bomb on Nagasaki that ended WWII.

In the Cold War hanger they have a B2 Stealth Bomber. I have never seen one of these up close before. I was surprised of how big this plane really is, and considering the shape of the plane it's hard to believe this plane could fly.

They also have a section for Rockets and Space exploration. They have the Apollo 15 capsule on display because that was the only Apollo mission with all Air Force pilots.
After about 4 hours of exploring this museum (and I was hurrying through it) I hit the road again. I am now about 6 hours from Syracuse. If the weather is good tomorrow I might make a quick stop in Cleveland to see a Navy Submarine, But then it's back home.
