  "A great museum for a lover of planes"
  "Three hangers full of planes. The first is mostly military aircraft, while the second has more cilivian aircraft including the cabin of a Goodyear blimp and a great 1936 Lockheed Electra painted in a Northwest Airlines livery. The real gem of the museum is the fully restored B29 bomber."
