Amazing WWII museum. I loved the restored P-38 Lightning in the middle of it. There were also a lot of rifles and other equipment throughout. It also has a flight sim, but sadly wasn't working when we got there.

A true hero. A great tribute to the Ace of Aces, Major Bong. The P-38 was awesome and the display would fit right in to the Smithsonian. Showed lots of respect for local veterans.
