I would love to go to the National Air and Space Museum to visit her. I worked on that aircraft as an Aviation Electronic Tech - Communication and Navigation and was specifically trained on Electronic Counter Measures. I wonder if they would let an old tech sit in the seats like I did every night to test all the systems?

It is worth asking...all they can say is no.
I suspect you could tell them more than they know about her.
