  1. At the AF museum in Dayton OH you can see several of the past Air Force One's and you can stand in the one where LBJ took the oath of office.
    I cannot say enough about that free museum! Well worth the trip..

    1. Absolutely coolest museum I have ever been in, even my wife thought it was cool and she was not thrilled with the idea of going.

    2. I love the AF Museum! I was stationed at Wright-Patterson twice and played tour guide at the museum many times. Once for a Boy Scout troop that came down with my uncle and cousin.
      A school there had some foreign students. The host organization took them to Washington DC , in part to see the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum. I blurted out, 'there's a better museum across the street!'

    3. AF Museum = Last best FREE thing in America. Parking’s free too.

    1. Ice builds up on the prop and gets flung off into the fuselage denting the skin. Some aircraft have composite shields to protect the skin.
