#2 The AF Museum is definitely worth the visit. They also have Bockscar that dropped the Nagasaki bomb prominently on display.

#3 Cool. So how soon before some deranged SJW (BIRM) tries to spray paint over the nose art? Or a group of same tries to block the museum entrance?

#4 ...Just got back to my hotel room after spending the day there at the NMUSAF. Belle looks amazing, and the way they have her displayed, vandalism isn't much of a problem. (She's about ten feet in the air.)

Best part was when the B-17s flew in this morning, escorted by 6 P-51s....and followed by Air Force One, which spent a couple hours shooting touch-and-goes on the main base runways. (The museum is on the old Wright Field part of the base; the runways and flightline are on the Patterson side.) People were cheering for the Belle, but you should heard them cheer for AF1.

Thanks Mike! Nicely done. My eyes are watering. Must be the Georgia humidity.
