Thanks for taking the time much appreciated 👍

[@lorencain9551]

That's just down the road from me and I have been there many times. If you go after 4pm you can park for free, giving you 90 minutes to see at least a few things.

[@lorencain9551]

A couple years ago they had a Star Wars X-Wing in the restoration area, but I never made it over to see it before it was gone.

[@imdoctorsan]

This one of your customers has sat in Colonel Tibbets seat in the office when he was a much, much younger man. Still get chills when I think of that.

[@ronhudson3730]

Best museum yet for me is the USAF museum in Dayton. Amazing. We’re lucky in Canada, with a very good one in Ottawa and the CWH in Hamilton (where I met you Andy, at the recent model show - a real pleasure - but still waiting on the Canadian AHHQ’s to launch…. Any news?).

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

soon

[@MikeUSA67]

That was great 👍Thanks for the tour, Andy!

[@kurtanp]

Thanks, Andy, for posting this. Definitely on my bucket list.

[@Yardbird68]

Thank you for the tour Andy!!! Appreciate it much.

[@paulsawyer2326]

Great video! Been to the museum myself and even had the awesome experience and rare opportunity to personally walk thru the Gurber restoration facility to admire the airplanes up close. Thanks to my wonderful late Uncle.

[@krakke3188]

Super cool museum totally worth the trip. When I was there in 2017, they where restoring the Apollo 11 Command Module, talk about the wings of time!

[@milrman12345]

What a brillant museum, thanks from the UK

[@rszanger]

I'd like to visit one day and really would like to see Horten ho229, and Dornier do335.

[@randytaylor1258]

Thanks, Andy! That was great.

[@lesthiele4921]

Hi Andy, that is a extremely excellent museum, it must have been fun trying to p.ace all these aircraft into their current positions, my only 'issue' would getting a decent photo with all the aircraft so close togrther, would love to visit one day, havebyou ever considered visiting the Australian Armour and Artillery Museum in Cairns? You would have a great time, best regards from Australia, Les

[@johngardner7024]

Incredible museum! Was up there last fall.

[@MoonwalkerModels]

Thank you so much for sharing this with us! I built the Boeing 707 Dash 80 on my channel a little while back. I am not working on the B-26 Flakbait and I saw the pictures of it in the restoration process in your video! For that I am very grateful! Thanks again for the super video!

[@kennethmeyers5008]

Stunning video.

[@americanpatriot2422]

Wow, it's on the to do list for me. I've gone to the Smithsonian in DC but not here.

[@MikeUSA67]

Same here

[@jaymiller773]

I agree with Russell's comment below. Thanks, Andy!

[@seanh2390]

awesome video

[@mikegolden2949]

Thank you for sharing these wonderful images with us. I've only had the pleasure of going to The Ottawa Air museum and Hamilton Ontario. But I did get to see them changing the engines on the Lanc!

[@dazzjazz]

I’ve been and it was fantastic. Seeing the Blackbird up close was incredible, as was the Ebola Gay.

[@theenzoman1]

I live about 2 hrs away from there and it’s been quite a while since I’ve been there. Definitely time to go back!

[@wwiiinplastic4712]

I have not been there in so long; I would love to go back now that I have a better camera. When I was there you could see parts of the Horten 229 scattered about in the work rooms for the restoration project. I also need more Do-335 and He-219 shots before I start those builds. I hope if there is a nuclear war and D.C. is struck the blast doesn't reach this fantastic museum.

[@LINJ638]

How do you know for sure???? It will reach DC and wipe out the surroundings including this museum.

[@merlinharley77]

Thank you !❤

[@michaelnaven213]

Thanks for this video of this museum. I have always wanted to visit this one with so many outstanding one of a kind aircraft. I have gone to the National Air Force museum in Dayton Ohio several times. If you get a chance,please visit that one.❤👏👍

[@bmrmel]

My wife and I were in DC when the ground breaking for the museum was being talked about on local news.😊

[@pascallaval2083]

Merci pour cette belle vidéo. De beaux avions ✈️, cela donne envie de faire des maquettes. 😊

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Enjoyed!! 👍👍

[@buonafortuna8928]

Andy great job mate. Thanks for taking the time and showing a fantastic place, I'm never likely to get to.

[@tomtruesdale6901]

Great video, I need to get up to the museum one day, lived just down the road from there in the 1960/70s. I saw that the B-29 appeared to have no defensive armament, so I looked it up and that aircraft was one of the "Silverplate" bombers modified to carry the atomic bomb and only carried tail guns. That really is the Enola Gay which dropped the first atomic bomb.

[@miguelortiz8906]

Me ha gustado mucho este tipo de vídeos , Gracias

[@militarymodellerpaul5932]

Great video thank you

[@jamesfloyd6803]

Thanks Andy, saved me a trip to DC.

[@canuck64]

Beautifully filmed and edited

[@thomasmccaskill5197]

Thanks for sharing Andy and if you ever get a chance go to Dayton Ohio Air museum that's where they tested all the new planes and also the captured planes from WW1 WW2

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

It is on mu list and would love to see it.

[@jimkruszka3817]

other than seeing the planes that served as Air Force 1 at Dayton ,I enjoyed this museun more . at Dayton they wouldn't answer questions about Roswell !!

[@c1ph3rpunk]

Those of us that grew up around Dayton decade ago know the answers. We also know where at least 2 of the entrances are to the underground system, one is near the airport in Vandalia. The other, well, you’ll have to find out, but I’ll just say when you move things in and out of there it’s best to be close to an Interstate.

[@salparadise1220]

Love those tri-engine Junkers planes. Such an iconic design.Up there with the DC47, B17, Spitfire. Also, strange how most German tanks/planes were blocky, with lots of hard, straight edges, and the allies had stuff that was lots of curves. Jazz, as an influence in society? A more relaxed mindset, in general? Or just, look to nature, copy birds as such as possible, they fly really well and are mostly a series of curved surfaces? The curved arch is stronger than the pointed arch?

[@SoupWhisper4]

Any news on your Canadian site? I'm looking forward to picking up some 1/16th scale kits

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

Very soon.

[@timb4283]

I’m live down the road bout ten minutes away

[@LINJ638]

Where are they going to display the B-17 shoo shoo baby in the museum?

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

They didn't have any date yet

[@LINJ638]

@@AndysHobbyHeadquarters Ugh..... Fuck...... I am getting antsy looking at the poor piss airframe.

[@MechaNick767]

Sad to see what they’ve done to the B-17 “Shoo, shoo, shoo baby”. She was a whole plane when she was at the USAF museum. 😔

[@LINJ638]

Fuck hope!!!!

[@AltCtrlSpud]

Have you guys ever considered that the moon is actually more important than the sun because it gives us light at night when it’s dark but the sun gives light during day when it’s already light out?

[@garyparker2969]

😩 GOOD GRIEF 😩😩‼️‼️

[@-donkey_696_]

@AltCtrlSpud ,you can fly to the sun if you go at nite to

[@LINJ638]

GET LOST!!!!

[@jgt4862]

I was there one week ago. Far superior to the Air and Space museum downtown Washington DC, in my opinion.
