For a show that has already had a flyby of the two flying B-29's (https://youtu.be/r-NLdmYOfvU), and are still scheduled for a B-2 and B-52 flyby, really wish I could have made it this year. As an aircraft lover, Oshkosh is on my bucket list.

Reminds me of the best air museum summer I ever had. Assigned as one of the two non test pilots in the test pilot squadron (brought me in to run the NATOPS (standardization) and training program), our pilots had to accumulate hours for currency requirements. Give test pilots a plane that has long legs, and a command willing to support the trips, and we made several out and in flights to some of the best museums in the country. This gave me the chance to visit the Air Force Museum at Wright-Patterson AFB, the Naval Aviation Museum at NAS Pensacola, and both Air and Space Museums (the Mall and Dulles Annex) within a few months of each other.

Wright-Pat was awesome, but getting into the base side hangar with all of the X Planes I watched on Discovery Wings growing up took the cake. The XB-70 Valkyrie, TACIT BLUE, YF-12, so many others. Looking at their website, it looks like they've added a fourth wing to the museum and moved them over for everyone to see, but in 2010 you had to have base access to see them. Pensacola had added a new hangar since I was there for flight school, which included some of the big WWII maritime bombers that the P-3 community descends from. All in all, an epic summer for me.
