The only museum dedicated to the vast array of weapons wielded by the United States Air Force, from machine guns to the 21,000 lb Massive Ordanance Air Burst (M.O.A.B.) bomb affectionately known as the Mother Of All Bombs. The airpark outside the museum contains a wide variety of WWII to Present Day aircraft, from B-17 and B-25 bombers to the only surviving SR-71A "Big Tail." Unfortunately when I visited in February of 2006, quite a few of the aircraft were in need of restoration. It was a different story inside the museum, where the equipment is in much better shape. They also have a small theater and gift shop. Plan to spend at least a couple hours looking things over.
