Nice! The Pensacola Naval Air Museum is a great place as well when this side of the creek.
Dayton has a fantastic one north of the creek.
love that one, off Spaaz and Bong St. too cool… the Smithsonian at Dulles is another excellent candidate east of the creek…
Is that the one on the air base? I have been to that one.
Wright-Patterson Air Force Museum, but lots of non-AF and foreign types.
Having always had oddball tastes*, I like the A-20 Havoc as a light/medium bomber. Very few left.
We often talk about going up there, but never do. But it's on the list of things to do.
The Naval Air museum is at an air base--the one where the Blue Angels reside.

Worth the drive! If they’re still doing the Dayton Air Show try to schedule your trip to the museum to coincide. The air shows we went to there in the 1980s were fantastic. I’ll never forget when the B-1 Bomber did a low speed (almost stall) low altitude (maybe a couple hundred yards above ground) fly over the grandstand and then hard banked left and swept its wings back for a near vertical climb with the afterburners on while pulling away from the grandstand - EVERYTHING was shaking and rumbling, nearly knocked the wind out of your chest. Awesome!
I don't know about Scott's Hiwatts, but I can tell you that a fuel/air explosive at 30 mi range will push your chest hard enough to force you to exhale.Worth the drive!

Of course the next best thing would be to stand inches away from Scott’s Marshall stack at full volume (with hearing protection) while he plays a Who Tribute with his Thunderbird.
Old pic in the yard to get good lighting.Good deal on really nice stands.
Ultimate Support GS-1000 Pro Guitar Stand
Looks as though GP could use one.
The planes, not the film "stars."
That does sound fantastic. Seems a really good road trip would include both of what you mentioned. Maybe I could carry Scott's bass if that Hoser from up North isn't on the job doing it.Worth the drive! If they’re still doing the Dayton Air Show try to schedule your trip to the museum to coincide.
