National Museum of the US Air Force

Make sure you plan at least half a day here for a very informative self tour about flight and war history. Pick up an exhibition map at the front desk, it comes handy.And don't miss the new building 4

Huge. If you have the time, plan to split your visit up into at least two visits so you can enjoy it. Not a lot for toddlers. Plan for larger crowds on holiday weekends; getting there when they open.

If you love aviation, this is the place for you! I was there 20 years ago, and now in 2013. Love what they've done to the place! More and more displays!! Highly recommend you spend a half a day here!

Great experience. Definitely a place to visit if in Dayton, Ohio. Several hangars of full size planes , drones and other artifacts from the history of the Air Force . Worth seeing and no charge to see!

Amazing collection. Although almost entirely USAF I’d say in terms of sheer planes it rivals or outdoes Air & Space. Very cool. Lots of old and modern planes plus some unique experimentals.

The museum is outstanding! Loved it (though some stories in the exhibit are biased) - not to miss by anyone interested in aviation. But you should allow at least half a day to see it.

All around wonderful and relaxing place to visit if you have quite a few hour to spare. It's completely free and PACKED floor to ceiling and wall to wall with aviation history .

It's FREE! It's the best aerospace museum in the country . It's huge. You can't see it all. It has the best collection (only?) of Presidential aircraft .

The museum houses The Memphis Belle, a b-17 Flying Fortress that is famous for being the 1st USAF heavy bomber to complete 25 missions and return to the US. Check out this C-SPAN video for more info. Read more

I've been here several times and still keep finding new information. Can't wait for the fourth building to be finished. We had a blast during space fest.

One of the better museums that you can visit for free. A place to see the machines that made an impact on modern history!

Pretty neat collection of history- well worth seeing and best of all- IT'S FREE (assuming you're one of those guys that skirts around paying your taxes!)

You could spend a week here and not see it all! I've never seen so many planes in one place! From the Wright Flyer to space craft! Fantastic displays!

Get a hands-on space experience at the National Museum of the US Air Force. Be sure to visit the new Space Gallery , along with the museum 's growing space collection.

Apollo 15 CSM is on display here. Known as call sign, "Endeavor", Astronauts David Scott, James Irwin, and Alfred Worden were carried to the moon onboard. Also 1st use of Lunar Rover on Apollo Mission

Check out the gift shop ! Lots of great items!! Great book selection. Pins, coins, clothing . A little bit of everything and the museum is free so it leaves you more to spend in the store!!

Home to SR-71A, serial number 61-7976. This blackbird flew the 1st operational mission. Also one of first to be on display. One of only two places that you can see two Blackbirds in the same location.

All things Air Force . Amazing displays and exhibits . Free admission !

Great museum experience, but taking photos can be a bit of a challenge. Many of the aircraft are dimly lit, requiring a slower shutter speed. Most point-and-shoot cameras don't have a sufficient fla

Awesome A/C displayed and history very friendly staff . Great grilled cheese and French fries . Our GC love it there.

You never have enough to see it all. Come on a Friday and do the Behind-the-scenes tour of the restoration hanger. Get on the list early.

Amazing place to visit. Get there early for the presidential tour . You can easily spend a whole day at this museum .

Be sure to sign up for the presidential and research & development hangar....it requires a bus ride and is well worth your time! Plus it's free!

Love coming here! So much aviation history and it's amazing to see how big some of these aircraft really are.

The NMUSAF is the world’s largest & oldest military aviation museum , opening in its first location in 1954. The museum 's collection contains many rare aircrafts of historical or technological importan

Don't forget to go all the way to the back of the 4th hangar. The plane President Kennedy used as Air Force One is back there.

Make sure to check out some of the most famous planes in history including JFK's Dallas Air Force One, SAM 26000, and Bockscar , the plane that dropped the Nagasaki atomic bomb.

Mark your calendars for a visit this summer! Our new fourth building opens to the public on June 8, 2016.

Plan on coming back frequently and often to see everything this amazing place of American heritage has to offer!

budget a few hours to see all the planes - the shuttle landing simulator is great fun for kids and adults!

Always changing and improving exhibits . Great to walk around and learn a lot of history in a few hours!

Amazing facility with every plane imaginable. Take the museum start to finish and you'll be amazed at tech over time.

Everything, it's free admission . Plan on being here awhile this place is huge!

We could have spent two days here. So much to learn but wear walking shoes . Loved it.

The best museum to take friends who are from out of town . The new Space Shuttle exhibit will be open soon!

Get there early and wear comfortable walking shoes , lots of great exhibits interesting for all ages!

This is a big museum so don’t expect to see everything in one visit. Focus instead on two or three time periods.

love it! if you visit Dayton you must go

The exhibits are amazing. A real feast for military aviation nerds.

Definitely an all-day (if not more!) experience. I'll be back when we have allowed more time.

Schedule a behind the scenes tour , wear your walking shoes and make time to see the Presidential Hangar.

Wonderful collection of planes , especially the fighter jets through history.

Early morning, get in as soon as the doors open rush right to the back. You'll be able to grab pictures of the big aircraft without the crowds.

Huge museum , and plenty of history, not only of the Air Force , but of flight in general.

Very neat museum ! It is free! Has a nice gift shop and the cafe prices are very reasonable.

Great historic preservation of the USAF!

The best aeronautical museum in USA

The only remaining YF-12 resides here, serial number 60-6935. Also, one of two places to see two members of the blackbird family at once.

Incredible museum . Could spend two entire day's exploring.

Great price, free! Great planes history and knowledge .
