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).I just went to the 'Pima Air and Space Museum ', they have some awesome planes there... -SR-71 -Kennedy's Air Force One -B-36J Peacemaker -Aero Spacelines 377-SG 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. |

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. |
