This was the best thread EVER, by far.

Gokul,
If you ever get a chance to get on base at WPAFB, there is an R&D hangar that has a lot of the original x-planes. It's free to get in and it's very cool. It's where the XB-70 is parked. Very cool indeed.

Fred, all the pics in this thread were taken at WPAFB, where I spent a good part of last saturday - it's an hour from home. It was my third trip there. And I went specifically for the new R&D wing which hadn't been there the last time I went. However, when I got there, around noon, I was told that all shuttles to the R&D wing were taken for the day! :cry: I'm supposed to get there when the gates open, if I want to have half of chance on a weekend...or so they say.

Anyway, I'll go back...sometime.

But then if y'all are game to have that PF gathering in Columbus (so far, Moonbear's up for it), we could head over to Dayton and spend some quality time, ogling.
