Visited today this museum.

Of WW-II interest:

A P-51H and a B-25.

The rest of aircraft displayed are post-WW-II (excepting the Ryan "Spirit of St. Louis" replica and a Curtiss Jenny) including F-105, F-100s, F-104, A-4, F-101, F-84s, C-130, C-133, HU-16, B-58, B-66, B-47, C-47.

IMHO, the airplanes there need lots of TLC, because some are showing signs of neglect, with paint peeling, lots of birds "mementoes" and generally looking forlorn.

Inside exhibits are interesting.

Saludos!
