My career spanned 46 years. from a Piper J-3 “Cub,” to a Piper “Aztec.
In between I flew USAF then UAL, US Coast Guard Auxiliary.
I, too, recommend Dayton, (The Air Force Museum). If you can, try to arrange a visit to the Wright Paterson AFB, on Base Museum. This museum has all of the “Presidential , Air Force ONE planes except current ones and President Ronald Reagans,” and many experimental ones as well.

The National Park Service also has a sight in Dayton, Ohio.

I agree the USAF Museum is great.
