I so ran out of time to go see this. Bummer...
Because I went on the so called presidential tour twice (once to see the presidential airplanes, and had to go back a 2nd time just to see the X-Planes which were so awesome that I had to make a separate page just for them. Those are all due to move in a permanent exposition hall (#4) by 2016. Then, I also went on a 3h backstage tour to see planes being restored, and as a result, the rest of the time was almost not enough to see everying in 2 days. In hindsight, I could have spend 3 days there... I have a highlight of the pictures below, but here are links of to the full picture galleries:
poor thing, its nose got stung by a bee... (boeing EC-135E, with big radar)
the 4th hangar in the distance wasn't open yet, but will be in 2016
the map might not look big, but it is big
I would not want to step in this :)
that's going to leave a mark ;)
MXy7-K1, a Japanese Kamikaze cruise missile (i.e. the guidance was a human)
shooting inside the prop, nice idea
The A-3 lifeboat was a rescue boat that could be dropped from a B29 bomber
First MiG 15 that made it to the US thanks to a defector who brought it
RF-101C Voodoo reconnaissance aircraft
Boeing Bird of Prey was built to test stealth technologies
The F22 is of course a formidable aircraft from later years
B-36J Peacemaker, kind of an ironic name for a bomber :)
SM-62 Snark long range nuclear missile
The RF-86F saber was a reconnaissance plane with fake machine guns stickers to look like it's armed
CGM-13B Mace replaced the Matador
B-58A Hustler, the supersonic bomber
nice to see how a plane is inside (F-86H Sabre)
these were taken by a U2 though
leaving planes outside in bad weather like they get in Ohio, definitely has a toll on them, hence restoration work
they redesign new pieces from scratch to match the old ones
But if you want more, go to the Museum's web site for a virtual 3D tour
