Look for details. The little dark corners holding the small glass displays under the wing of a B-29. It's the details that set the USAF museum apart from any other....including the Smithsonian. Oh...and the B-29....it's Bock's Car.
Gives me another excuse to go back
I am more partial to the Navy, but I have to say the USAF Museum blows the Naval Aviation museum down in Pensacola out the water (pun intended
). You're right,
