A few panoramic collages from our visit last week to the US AIr Force Museum at Wright-Patterson AFB in Dayton, Ohio…

A wind tunnel from the early 1900s takes center place amidst a balloon and WWI Fokker triplane.

There is a hangar inside Wright-Patterson devoted to experimental military aircraft. The same side of the hangar is seen on far left and far right.

The Valkyrie experimental plane just barely fits in the hangar from front to back.

Here is a reconstruction of a rectilinear view of an AFTI F-16 where all the images had to be taken from within four feet or so of the wingtip.

    I love that museum. I went there several times when I lived in Ohio, but it has been at least 10 years since my visit. The last few times I have been through Dayton, it was too late in the day to visit. I may need to just set aside a day to go.

    All very cool. But conspicuously absent are any remains from alien crash retrievals.
