In my humble opinion, outside of the Smithsonian, this is the single greatest museum in the entirety of the United States.
I couldn’t agree more, in fact I like it more than the Smithsonian!
I agree with Mark, I think its better than the Smithsonian as well. Not by much, but just the sheer amount of different aircraft at this place will never cease to blow my mind.
Absolutely in agreement. I’m here at least every 2 months, just ~40 mins from the house.
The National Museum of Nuclear Science & History in Albuquerque is also very good. Would definitely recommend if you're ever in Albuquerque and haven't been to the museum.
Yes!!!
The fact that you can see an XB-70 Valkyrie and a B-36 Peacemaker in the same museum is truly amazing.
The YF-12 next to the XB-70 is AWESOME!!!!! It is the only one left of the original three that were built.
We go 3 to 4 times a year since we live 15 minutes away and it's FREE. never get bored and always excited to return. Always kept extremely clean, always friendly staff, veterans willing to tell story's, it's just amazing
We’ve been there several times over the past few years. I’m not sure how it is now with covid, but there were many veterans that would greet visitors, and answer questions. The best part was when you would hear them interact with other service members that were there to visit. It gave them a chance to share similar stories with one another. Highly recommend to anyone go visit!
as of right now they’re opened 9-5
And everything is back to as is was pre-Covid. Signed: Docent, NMUSAF.
Once followed a tour of Airforce intel workers. They were getting trained on the history of their service and what technologies were used. Was very fun.
It sucks they took out the simulator 😭😭 I used to live close to there
It wasn't much just mask
Great stuff. The cost to maintain a place like that. Amazing. Thank you Air Force.
I live close to the museum and we love it.
@@jamesbond-yi9ls it’s free to go!
i live in Ohio this museum is badass. changes frequently my neighbor in the country had 27 airplanes from ww1 and ww2. he was a hardass but always took us neighbor kids on his golf cart to see his planes. RIP Mr. Reid. his house is now an airport for small aircraft. Pheasant run airport. Leroy, Ohio. I believe he donated it to a local college.
Most vets his age are, I try to be understanding though they definitely saw something’s in their time so it’s understandable tbh rest in peace to him though
A full day? More like a full three day weekend, plus an extra day for the Wright shop and a pilgrimage to Huffman prairie. Your feet will fall off before you get done with this place.
“Moving through time, we are now at the Korean war!” *sees an f22*
Ive lived locally since my birth, i remember going when it was just 2 big hangers and imax then you would have to get passes to go onto wpafb to the restoration hangar and the presidential collection, theres really cool pics out there of the xb70 being moved from the previous location the museum was located to the current location, being towed down the highway..
I tell everybody to go there while they can still walk all day. Truly fascinating place.
As a child my dad was in the Air Force stationed at Wright Patterson. Been through the old museum. Never have been to the new one. I'm 65 now. Don't know if I'll ever get to go through it. But as a kid, it was really exciting. I was born at WPAFB.
Wright-Patterson was the last base my uncle was at when he retired in the early 70's, the SR-71 in this museum is the one he flew when he was the first squadron leader at Beale AFB in the mid 1960's!
be sure to Go !
What would you say mostly changed between then and now? Besides newer aircraft of course
Too cool it's has really grown from when I was in school very nice and I am 65 now. And it's still free great 👍👌🙂
Every American should see the museum its HUGE so much of history to see!
Wow. Interesting museum. I wanna visit someday. Greetings from Finland!
As a museum addict I choose:
The Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago Ill
The Smithsonian, Washington DC
USAF Museum, Dayton Oh
Auburn-Cord Museum, Auburn Indiana
In that order.
The Air Force Museum is accessible from the bike trail since they built an underpass for the railroad just for the bike trail.
The ohio bike trail network connects Cincinnati, Dayton and Columbus plus other towns.
I'll have to go there now. I once tried to see vintage planes at the Oshkosh airshow , but after a long ride, they informed us that only the selected (guest who paid more $) could see them . What a gypp
And I thought the Air Force museum in Pensacola was big lmao this place is incredible
Best museum i've ever visited.I hope I get to see it again..Dave
Love the USAF Museum. Started going when I was very young and we were visiting my eldest brother, who was a civilian employee for the USAF as a systems safety engineer at Wright-Pat. My Scout Troop took a couple trips there as well.
Place looks Absolutely Amazing. Can't wait to get out their someday.
They have a FRICKEN TITAN IVB!!! It is the last titan iv built!
When the museum first opened, they said it would take you 2 months at 8 hours a day to read everything. It has since increased two over a year-and-a-half now. And if you only have a short time start in building 4 and work your way towards the entrance.
Awesome!... good to see these planes being preserved... look after them! 👍✈️
Outside of Yellowstone, this is easily the coolest place I've ever been. Absolutely incredible. Oof, that B-36. This place made me geek out so hard. The Valkyririe is something special. They also have a B-1 Lancer, a Titan IV rocket, and a full-sized B-52. Please, everyone, visit. I'd recommend two days for a visit, though. The place is huge. It is awesome.
wore my grandpa's 8th airforce flight jacket with his units insignia on the front big portrait on the back, he was a pilot in ww2, looked upon that big beauty with pride, at the same time there where Japanese tourists looking grim upon it, gotta say it was a surreal moment
Every time I visit, I always visit this Vietnam vet who works at the museum (mostly does reception at the main entrance), and one time, he told me a story about that exact Caproni Ca. 2 you see in the video, and that Ca. 2 was flown once by the mayor of New York City. He is one of the nicest vets I have ever met. I live close to the museum and I visit any time I can, and I'm now taking flying lessons. Please visit if you can, great place.
Cool looking museum. Great history
Such a great museum 👍 Been there a few times. Well worth the drive - spend the day !!! Nice people too !!
Moved to Dayton when 6 , went to Wright state university. This place is great and no fee to enter, used to take daytime first dates there.
I've not been there in several years, but if you're traveling, this is a must-see facility - well worth a side trip specifically to see, visit, and be awed by the collection.
Easily reached from Cincinnati or Columbus. Less than an hour from either city.
This museum is crazy large I had just a little bit under from Monday. They opened when they closed and I saw I would say three of the areas we looked at the Cold War space and presidential and World War II.
It's FREE? Damn. I'm moving close by. I know where I'll be spending time. That balloon is a barrage balloon. They put lots of them up so the planes couldn't fly low over the troops and some of them carried antennas for radios.
I sat in the Pilots 💺 seat. I was a volunteer for a while. Got to set in a lot of the other plans also. The B-29 that dropped the A-Bomb that ended the war.
Been there. Awesome
I love that place I’ve been there 2 times so much fun lol
I love this place!!!
This was totally great . I've never visited this museum , but iam definitely gonna try to before I die . I tried joining the Air Force when I got out of high school , but they was a long waiting list so I went in the Navy instead . Thanks so much for this video , I have subscribed and hope to see more soon .
Thanks for the great review. You must have visited on a very slow day. These days, summer of 2021, the place is just packed most of the week. Signed: Docent, NMUSAF.
I live just about 2 hours away from there, I love the place!!!!
That "giant rocket" in the space gallery of our 4th building, is actually the Titan IVb. One just like it placed the Cassini observation satellite in orbit around Saturn and its moons!
Didn’t realize there was a gulf coast war.
We have a list of military bases on high alert right now. Wright Patterson is one of them.
The Most expensive museum in the world? the cost of projects SR-71, XB-70 Valkyrie, Apollo is eye watering
literally the only observation balloon from ww1 left in existence, like a lot of their collection there
Today I’m coming in the area
I’m lucky enough to live extremely close and I take for granted I could Uber to the biggest Air Force museum and see one of only 4 remaining b36s AND the Memphis Belle it’s awesome
"The Gulf Coast War." I missed that one. HA! Great video.
It was also known as 'The Taco War'.
You miss the B-17 Memphis Belle one of the most famous world war II bombers in history is in the museum
gee, i figured there'd be more people there!
I live a hour away from it and it's such a site
Im going there in like 11 hours~ cant wait~~
How was it? It's a day enough?
@@MrDaftJustice Nope! Get a hotel lol 2-3 days when major events are going on~ outside and inside both take a bit to see all of it. honestly... 4/5 rating, thats "Only" due to the space exabits were being worked on and i didn't get to see em. bring cash and snacks lol. oh yeah, there are aircraft cockpits you can sit in~
@@jeffclark2869 I'm super excited, I need to fly to Cincinnati and then move up to Dayton maybe an Airbnb could work..., I really want to see the F117 and the ME262 since they were my first model aircraft as a kid lol
@@MrDaftJustice The ME262 looked great~ However I didn't see the F117, I think it was Suspended to the celling and I missed it... But they do have the Prototype Raptor and a concept Drone 5th gen~
I love that the place is free~
This museum commands a minimum of 12-16hrs to truthfully intake all the displays.
been there :)))) amazing place
They used to have a submarine you could walk into... I don't know if they have that anymore. I was there as a kid
can you go into the cockpit of some aircraft?
I always wanted to go to a air museum thats my goal in life.
My favorite air craft is the mi 24 and the sr 71 black bird.
My uncle flew this exact SR-71 out of Beale AFB in the mid 60's...
Do they have the de haviland Mosquito there in the WW2 area??
The one I’ve flown in OID/OND
It’s the Air Force Museum. When it was renamed “The National Museum of the United States Air Force” is like when Pearl Harbor was renamed “Joint Base Pearl Harbor - Hickman”.
Sir I am from the Philippines...I recovered a part of your aircraft devastated during world war II a diffusion cooler...I can not exactly get the details but serial numbers are still present with Dayton Ohio USA as manufacturer...I was able to search your aircraft museum in which it is also located in the same area ....any recommendation and whatever suggestion that you could offer is of great advantage for the retrieval this piece of the fallen aircraft...so we can agree on the matter....hope you will respond me on this matter...
Uhhhh we just visited the museum, you should probably try contacting them.
@@IntheLoopPodcast can you help me sir on how to contact them...I have with me the pictures of the parts of the destroyed warplane with its plate number and other important serial numbers thank you...
Umm, probably the museum website would have that info
SR-71 Blackbird? B-2 bomber , too much to take in , good video sample
Thank you for this video. Definitely I will come to USA as a tourist, and this museum will be in my tour plan.
Enjoy Ohio. We’re a friendly state, try the chili! This museum is free to visit 😀
I've been there twice. If you are a true airplane buff you will need at least 2 days if not 3. If you only get one day you will be disappointed with not seeing all you wanted to.
Nice job! Thank you.
It is an Air Force base to
I have visit spare 62-1787 spare 617 I’ve flown him.
They took out the simulator😭😭😭 i used to live close to there
It was kind of painful that he referred to so many things incorrectly and he didn’t mention many of the aircraft’s names but still good video! (I’m a huge plane nut btw)
So the F-22 Raptor was apart of the Korean War, got it
Great museum but a video of it deserves a narrator with some clue about what they are looking at or at least enough respect for the objects and history being presented to do some research into what they are seeing. Just read the information presented with the displays before speaking nonsense. Please.
I agree 100%. This narrator speaks on a first grade level … and makes mistakes besides!
What do you say ? ไม่สร้างสรรค์
8:43 "Alien Saucer" is identified as an Avrocar VZ-9
And it didn't get very far off the ground, either.
Im going there from the other side of ohio
When was the Gulf Coast war in America!
It was also known as 'The Taco War'.
Whoever narrated this is not a veteran nor does he know much about aircraft - couldn’t identify squat.
I would rather watch this video without this guy talking
“Gulf coast war”
It was also known as 'The Taco War'.
I can't remember what it's called, but my grandfather's plane is there
First
lay person who knows no Names of planes.
It's in Ohio 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
Ur like 3
You really have so little knowledge regarding aircraft
Not a very informative tour.
I will never visit this museum of dead birds! Don't tell me multiple examples of B36's nd B47's and B58's can't be restored to flying condition! Civilians do it all the time! Don't say to me They don't have gate guardians that can't be restored to flying conditions!
CAN'T MEANS WON'T! USAF museum👎
