@@TomScottMorgan30 I live near USAF Newport testing facility Is it still operating and can I theoretically visit it? Just to look at models of planes

@gamepro_dan1552 They no longer use the term "Newport" in the name. It is called the Rome Research Institute, and it is run by either the USAF or the new Space Force. If you are not military, you can not simply go visit. However, most military bases have some sort of "open house" once a year or so that you would be able to attend. Also, various groups such as ROTC, scouts, and perhaps local civic organizations are often invited onto the facilities. Your best bet is to call the facility and ask about when they may be open to the public. Hope this helps!
