The Best Museum I was EVER in was the Victory Air Museum ran by Earl Rienert on Gillmore Rd. in Mundelein Il. This was a warbird lovers dream. There were buildings fill of parts of anything imaginable. there were PBY's to Spitfires in crates and even unseen legends of Buffalo in closed sheds dotting the dirt airstrip. This was the site of my first date with my wife. We spent the whole day, for FREE, crawling thru warbirds and talking with Earl. When you see all the aircraft who have a history to the Victory Air Museum it makes you appreciate it more.
