Is Ender's Backyard Museum of Space in the running? -- nm - oblique Apr 12, 06:34 10
- Well, the Air Force Museum is practically in my backyard... -- nm - Ender Apr 12, 06:41 9
  - Is that near Wright-Patterson? -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 12, 06:41 8
    - Yeah, my dad worked at the base and his building was within sight of the museum. -- nm - Ender Apr 12, 06:51
    - the very same property -- nm - volnelk Apr 12, 06:46 6
      - Huh.....you'd think they'd put the museum slightly away from the alien ships they have at Wright :) -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 12, 06:47 5
        
        Hide them in plain sight -- nm - Roger More Apr 12, 07:03 4
        
        Exactly. Look at the DarkStar or Tacit Blue. Obviously, alien tech was involved in the design of these craft. - TWuG Apr 12, 07:14 3
        
        Yeah - I was going to make a snarky comment like "Sure, that'll get me to go to Dayton", but looking at the museum now I actually want to go -- nm - Roger More Apr 12, 07:31 2
        
        I haven't been since the 80's. It was fantastically cool then and is exponentially moreso now. - TWuG Apr 12, 07:36 1
        
        They've added an entirely new 3rd hanger since then. Some of those new planes are incredibly cool. -- nm - Ender Apr 12, 07:39
