New American Air Force museum opening at Duxford air field in England. It is part of the Imperial War Museum and is dedicated to the USAAF and USAF in Great Britain. Definitely deserves a place on one's must visit list.

If you ever get a chance, visit the US Air Force Museum at Wright-Patterson AFB in Ohio.

That’s quite a sight... and some absolutely beautiful examples.

I’ve been to Duxford and it is WAAAAAAY cool.
This will only make it better.
And don’t forget the Land Warfare Museum there, to.
And Oxford is just down the road! Save a day to tour there, too!

If I had one of those huge garages you see the guys with all the cool old cars have, I would want a Merlin V-12 engine to tinker with. Just that old craftsmanship to fondle.
Probably never start the thing, but just tinker with it.
