This weekend I visited the National Museum of the United States Air Force, Dayton, Ohio. Dayton is the city of many scientists. Wright brothers, Neil Armstrong are the most famous among them. I hope the following pictures will give you a virtual visit to the museum:

These are some of the pictures to give you a glimpse of the museum. All the arcrafts, missiles, rockets are reals and not the models (except commander doggy).
After visiting this museum I got the realization that I am not eligible to call myself an engineer coz the work I do is several light years behind the kind of engineering involved in these things.

The museum is an engineering marvel. It does remind me about what I had studied in college but sadly I am not a part of it anymore.
Yes Suzie, one really gets the FEEL of engineering when we see those awesome machines.
:) wunnerful pics!
Priya,
It feels soooo different when you go to the cockpit of those bombers. Words can't describe the feeling.
Good for people to know.
