Review:
The National Museum of the U.S. Air Force (NMUSAF) sits 6 miles outside of Dayton, Ohio. Formerly known as the United States Air Force Museum, this informative and interactive facility holds more than 360 aircraft and missiles. The museum got its start in 1923 when the Engineering Division at Dayton's McCook Field began holding on to technical artifacts for preservation purposes. Today, the museum is filled with some of the world's most famous aircraft, like the Boeing B-29 Superfortress that dropped the Fat Man atomic bomb on Nagasaki, presidential aircraft used by Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry Truman and Dwight D. Eisenhower, and SAM 26000, the Boeing 727 that John F. Kennedy used to travel to Dallas the day he was assassinated. The NMUSAF receives more than a million visitors each year.
