National Museum of the
United States Air Force
Here's the short version of our nearly weeklong trip to Ohio.
So many pictures of the planes in the NMUSAF and from the Gathering of Mustangs are out on the web, I'm limiting this page to just a few of my own.

| The bombers and Mustangs nemesis: a FW-190.

The most advanced fighter of the war: a Me-262 Schwalbe. |
Skyler seems fascinated by the nuclear attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, so Bockscar had to be seen.
