Very nice. I'll have to pay a visit.

You should try Fort Nelson and the Royal Armouries. Its about 5km from Priddy's Hard. Well worth a visit, last time I was there they had a section of the Iraqi "Supergun" and fired off an old cannon from the Napoleonic Era.

We've got the first three at the Air Force Museum outside of Dayton - although the R&D and Presidential hangers will be closed due to the sequestration cuts starting May 1 (so no more SAM 26000 until October).

That said, we've also got Cowtown Hustler, Bockscar, Hanoi Taxi, the B-2 static test mockup, GAMBIT 1 (KH-7), GAMBIT 3 (KH-8), HEXAGON (KH-9), Apollo 15, and many more.

Great stuff Rifleman and Charybdis, Iv'e been to both these places, well worth a visit.

Not a naval museum, but if you are a fan of soviet hardwere and find yourself in russia
i recommend the Central Air Force museum at Monino, Moscow.
And the Artillery, Engineers and Signal corps museum at St. Petersburg.
Both are awesone places to see.
