Ray went to the Air Force Museum this morning and I stayed at FamCamp and got my laundry done. I had hoped to get it done last night, but everybody else in the park was doing laundry. Ray came back at lunchtime and I went back with him for the afternoon.
The National Museum of the United States Air Force is the largest and oldest military aviation museum in the world. There is 10 acres of indoor exhibits, featuring over 400 aircraft and missiles and thousands of artifacts including personal memorabilia, uniforms, and photographs. The museum is divided into galleries; Early years -1901-1917; World War I -1917-1918; Inter-War - 1919-1941; World War II; Koren War; Vietnam War; Cold War; Post Cold War; Missile and Space Gallery; Presidential Aircraft; and Research and Development Aircraft. The Presidential and Research & Development Galleries are in a different location and we didn't make it there before it closed at 5:00 pm. So we will have to come back so we can see the rest of the museum. Ray took so many photos. I'll just share a few of them.
