There is a B-52 on pylons at a highway intersection on the US Air Force Academy. I've stopped to look at it a number of times. It saw its last service in Vietnam and actually shot down a Mig with its tail guns, I guess. I think it may be the only one to ever have done that.

When we were in Seattle in June, we toured the museum Boeing. My wife's late uncle was a big time Boeing engineer on the Apollo project and early space shuttle missions.

A new Apollo area was about to open, and when she told one of the docents about her uncle, they allowed us into the project while still under construction.

The museum is pretty neat. I particularly enjoyed going through the old SST.
