Verry cool subject !!!!
If any of you EVER get the chance go to the Air force museum at Wright Patterson in Daton Ohio . If you like planes , well ,,,,,,,,,,
OH my god they got them !!!! You name it they got it . They even have a Vulkuri (sorry for the spelling ) . One of the most memerable was a prototype of a P51 (I think) with a 105 howitzer ( i think ????) , it flew ok but when they fired the cannon the plane backed up and fell !!!!!!
And for a bonus there is a hanger with retired Air Force One's in it . We talked our way in slightly after hours . The older ones had bunk beds to sleep on .
I would suggest going dureing the week and give your self a day or two ( or more ) . I spent a long day there and it was NOT enough !!!!
