Museum Visit Vlog - US Air Force Museum - So Many Planes!

[@MajesticDemonLord]

If I were to visit that Museum: "Can I sit in that one? What about that one? This one? The one over there? Wait, Why am I being escorted out?!? NOOOoooo!!!"

[@MajesticDemonLord]

Also the B1-B is my Waifu

[@mletrout7942]

Hello Chase, I just wanted to say thanks for all the videos. ALL of them! You literally taught me how to play World of Warships. And no, I'm not blaming you, I'm thanking you, remember? I'm not a great player, but I'm getting better and your channel has been informative, entertaining, and a very positive influence on my gaming experience over the last 3 or 4 months. So, if I can be a little selfish, I have to say that I hope you'll continue offering WOWs content, but at the same time I'm looking forward to seeing what else is out there for you. I wish you all the very best and wish i could do more to show my appreciation beyond subscribing and dropping a little note. Do you like brownies? :)

[@isaacmcdaniel6278]

Chase love your videos regardless of your contributor status. Actually I think this is for the best as we can get more unrestricted content about WG trying shady stuff. As always you have our support. Also maybe try patreon to supplement your income I would definitely donate to you! love your stuff.

[@ichasegaming]

Thanks :D and yeah I think it's going to be good for me to get back that total freedom to create content. Also as for Patreon, I've had one for a while :P www.patreon.com/iChaseGaming

[@dubsy1026]

iChaseGaming I thought you were reinstated, I saw a forum post by a WG mod that said so.

[@mjholding1]

Dubsy 102 They offered to reinstate him but he declined.

[@isaacmcdaniel6278]

you should promote it more since I, and I assume more people didn't know about it! :) Chase you are my favorite KZbin personality please keep this content coming. Thanks for responding and please know me and, what I assume are a lot of people, could hear you talk about paint drying and I would still listen because you are so entertaining!!!!

[@abacs21]

The link to his Patreon is literally in the description though

[@shrikes45]

Hey, iChase! Awesome video! Another awesome side note on that F-106 the "Cornfield Bomber": When the Pilot ejected, his wingman saw the plane level off and said "you'd better get back in it!" Hilarious! I also remember reading that the pilot, Capt. Gary Faust, was sent to Korea for a tour flying F-106s, and his squadron had this airframe, BuNo. 58-0787. When his CO found out about this, he made sure that it was assigned to Faust so that if something untoward happened again and he had to eject, there was a reasonable chance for the plane to make it back to base and land itself. LOL! =P

[@richards8718]

Stay strong Chase we love your videos

[@MrRagequitnow]

Damn, I wish I had known you were coming to Dayton. I would have taken you out for a drink. As I live in Dayton, right by the base.

[@cylonred8902]

Heck Marion's Pizza with Mike Sells potato chips, then finish with either Young's Dairy or Graeters Ice Cream. ;)

[@rutilius83]

i'm in columbus and need to head over there again. it has been too long. i would love to get more shots of the planes.

[@Starchface]

Is he old enough to drink (legally)?

[@cylonred8902]

He has professional job if I remember correctly after getting a degree so I believe he is old enough by a year or 2.

[@TheDarkestFantasy]

Same here, just down the road lol

[@TAWShani]

Always loved going to Dayton as a kid to see the air force museum, it's been great watching it grow over the years. It seems forever ago it was only two hangers. Having gone there so many times and learned so much of the history probably explains my obsession with WW2. Love seeing anyone giving the museum due justice to encourage more people to go.

[@ichasegaming]

Heard they are trying to build a fifth hanger now o_O

[@gregbedford9706]

Nice! One of my favorite places in the world. As an old airman it was nice seeing you focus on two of the aircraft types I was an avionics maintenance technician on, the B-52 and the F-4. One of our F-4 airframes had Col. Olds' paint schemes as it was one in which he flew. Much like the one on display.

[@Sseltraeh89]

The "eeriness" around the B29 exhibit... That was residual radiation :D

[@YeOldeTraveller]

I'm glad you enjoyed your visit. The C-141 outside is the one I have the closest connection to. It was the last flying C-141 and it was assigned to my Wing which is located at Wright-Patterson AFB which hosts the Air Force Museum. That C-141 is also know as the Hanoi Taxi as one of the first to return our POWs from Vietnam.

[@davidkaminski615]

Hey Chase! I was just at the Museum earlier this summer with my GF. I walked my feet off at this place! So many interesting aircraft, so many interesting stories! Unfortunately, we were on a time crunch, and I hot-footed through all four hangers in three hours! I took lots of pictures of planes and plaques for me to read later. My favorite area was seeing all the personalized flight jackets. Favorite plane? The trapeeze fighter, for US Army zepplins. It was so cute! Keep the high spirits!

[@louierivera4327]

Wargaming might have got upset with you. But you spoke the truth, even if it led to your demise. You stood up for others who didn't have a voice. And spoke your mind. And that takes a lot of courage. I think your fantastic and I'll continue to root for ya. Thank you chase!

[@rodorrouter9167]

Chase, Welcome to Dayton, OH and the USAF Museum. If you ever want to get some REALLY good ice cream, go to Yellow Springs and go to Young's Jersey Dairy. Really great ice cream! Please keep up the GREAT work! Oh and make sure you get some cheese curds. They are YUMMY!

[@mocafrost]

Nice. One of my favorite places to visit since I was a child. So much bigger now.

[@natenobrakes6292]

Very cool video. I've always wanted to go to the US and see the Air Force museum. And you are right the Valkyrie is a fantastic plane.

[@captain61games49]

OU MY GOD I have heard the story of the spinning jet that landed That IS amazing Thanks Chase!

[@NickPoeschek]

Little world of warships connection you missed in the Ju-88 picture. That bomb in the foreground is a Fritz X, the type of guided bomb used to sink the Roma and hit the Warspite as well.

[@ichasegaming]

I was gonna talk about that, then I forgot because I got into the little story about the Ju-88...derp

[@ultimatu2130]

Hey Chase, here in Massachusetts, we have Battleship Cove which is pretty dang cool. I think you should check it out sometime. Hell, I'll go with you cause I've been wanting to go for a long time. Also, we all love you and we're with you through this situation with WarGaming until the end

[@Boomax-rr5fk]

I've been to Battleship Cove 7 times :) sadly not this year :( There's also the New England Air Museum just over the border in Connecticut. Hello fello Bay Stater!

[@OhYeaMista]

rutzcm Hell yea. Boy Scouts. Same here.

[@BennyFlyby]

Great video, thanks. I have put Dayton on my list of places I want to visit.

[@someguynamedav7947]

Dude u gotta make more of these keep up the good work!

[@Lucinat0r]

Glad you got to go to the Museum. Did you check out the restoration facility while you were there, it has some real gems in it. Hope you do some more museum vids.

[@Cowboy19811]

Chase, Great video, It made me remember of when I used to go to Carswell Air Force Base when I lived in Fort Worth Texas, several years ago lol Great times Keep up the great work God Bless

[@googleusingnamesisstupid3677]

AHHH the next video... But I respect you for focusing this video on the museum.

[@ichasegaming]

Yup :) I said this is what I was going to make and that's what I'm sticking with

[@googleusingnamesisstupid3677]

You know, I don't like planes as much, but I kept watching to the end, because the thing I do like, is amazing stories. I just finished watching the video, had to take a break in between to take the flag down before it started raining, and came back and finished the video. That WWII plane with the pilot waking up and jumping into the plane, amazing. Thank you for this video.

[@kruppstahl9562]

Hey, Jingles was there! I watched that vid and then a few more just cuz he goes to some of those cool museums in England and that's how I found out about WOWS and your channel.

[@matttaylor2025]

New place just added to my bucket list.

[@rjprescott4742]

It was your series of know your ship videos that caused me to subscribe to your channel, and then play World of Warships. This video reminds me of all of those videos that made me subscribe BRAVO ZULU.

[@philipleiser2090]

Great video! I've been there a couple of times, but they have added a ton of stuff since my last visit. I have to agree, the Valkyrie my be the coolest plane in the place. But its hard to pick.

[@damsb.6078]

This is really interesting, if one day I come to the US I will sure go to this museum, all these planes are amazing !!

[@Pandenhir]

As a german I have to do this :D The Tornado is actually a cooperation between germany,the UK and Italy and was produced by Panavia, which is a german company ;) But that said, I envy you so MUCH ;) Keep going IChase, love your content

[@kevinh632]

Bocks car - iChase, you are not alone, I also had a strange feeling when I was near this plane around 5 years ago when I visited from the UK. I knew the history, so perhaps that was part of it, however, I was also near Enola Gay a few years later as well, and never quite had the same feeling. Great museum, out of the usual internation tourist areas, but well worth a diversion.

[@knightedwolf]

was born and raised not far from there, a lot of good memories especially as I used to take my son when he was little to the museum every weekend.

[@cmdrvicprower]

Nice vid ichase! You actually covered the F106! :P I had a model of that when i was a kid.

[@ichasegaming]

Yeah, the F-106 had an incredible story, plus she's a really pretty plane

[@EldiApex]

Hi Chase, thanks for sharing the video because for those of us who live far away it's very hard to see things like that. Greetings from Argentina of 4:24 ;).

[@brianc4464]

Thanks for the continued awesome content mate, keep ya chin up cheers

[@ichasegaming]

Will do and thanks!

[@midmissourirailroad]

By God, I haven't been to this museum in YEARS. Would love to go back there one of these days.

[@ichasegaming]

Should definitely go, incredible museum

[@justinschmitz8631]

I was there like a month ago, one of the best aviation museums I've ever been to!

[@hellreaper0136]

Ichase we love your content of your videos that was amazing can't wait to show my son he is a huge fan of you vids and says you are his fav youtube person he watches all your vids on his tablet and we support you here and hope the best for you can't wait for more vids have a safe move

[@ichasegaming]

Thank you for the wonderful support! Also say HIIIII to your son for me :)

[@mikeadams3656]

I've never been to Wright/Patterson, but I have been to the Pima County Air & Space Museum in Tuscon Arizona and they have the largest collection of aircraft, I believe, anywhere! If you like warplanes I would recommend a visit. While not all of the aircraft are in "display" condition it is still most impressive to see all of these aircraft in one place! The indoor part is not very big but they have acres & acres of planes in various states of "preservation" or decommissioning. The only caveat is to be sure you visit it in the winter! I hope to see more videos from you as I really enjoy them, whatever they are about!

[@ichasegaming]

Ooooooh, that museum looks interesting too. They got com air, will definitely try to go there one day :D

[@redjacc7581]

great vid chase........as always.

[@mikesaporitojr3313]

Good luck in the future I also was in the dumps after I heard of your termination

[@donnazy1]

Hi Ichase, I want to thank you for bring back some old memory's. You show Colonel Olds in front of a Aircraft from the 433rd Satans Angles Squadron. Colonel Olds was at Ubon RT Air Force base in I think 1967. I was at that base in 1969 and I was with the 497th Tac Fighter Squadron the Night Owls. I was a crew chief. I just want to say that I enjoyed your photos. Also I hope you think about doing WOW again. I really enjoy work. Thanks again.

[@ichasegaming]

Cheers, thank you for your service. I will continue to provide warships content, just as an independent creator instead of an official WG CC

[@jeffreymcfadden9403]

the XB70 was outside till just a couple years ago. when they brought her in , they had to move the B36 outside for a couple days. the "hanoi taxi" is at the museum. after WW2 wright field and a base south of Indy were the locations where AAF brought captured german aircraft for testing. the list of aircraft that were here was amazing. sadly, almost all of them were scrapped.

[@rutilius83]

it is a great place. great video and stills. may i ask what camera you were using? it seems to have very good low light capability.

[@8RedBear5]

Hey I won something off KZbin. Now to figure out the YT message system. Love the video, I've been to Air Museum in DC and several air shows and seeing those air planes of history up close is a thrilling experience. I've had the pleasure of seeing a B-1B do a low lever pass just under the speed of sound at a St. Louis air show which was amazing. I've also seen a B-2 doing a in flight refueling from an air tanker, a benefit of luck and location.

[@RazmatazHD]

Give em hell Chase!!, gulp a 20's box of Timbits from me 👍👍

[@iKvetch558]

Hey, iChase...great to see video of the museum...visited twice, and still feel like I have not seen everything there. So huge...so many little nooks and crannies to explore. The only place that even comes close are some of the big air museums in Britain...or the Udvar Hazy at Dulles in D.C....such an amazing place. I definitely cannot recommend it more highly...an absolute must see if you have not been there yet.

[@iKvetch558]

BTW...Enola Gay is in the Udvar Hazy...you get the same weird feeling around it...even stronger.

[@iKvetch558]

But I will propose that you are wrong that the XB-70 is the sleekest bomber in the museum...I propose the B-58 Hustler for that award. ;-)

[@starbomber]

That place is in my hometown! I've been there so many times. It's great.

[@jeffreymcfadden9403]

i remember when the B24 sat outside, many decades ago. we took several school trips to the museum through the years. the boys always got a chuckle at the scan-tally clad female on the B24 named "strawberry bitch".

[@s7centnickel915]

One of my happiest places on earth, love the XB70 Valkerie & B58 Hustler! Did you make it to the annex?

[@mogaman28]

That Valkyrie could appear in a sci-fi movie as is. And could expect that YF-23 suddenly going Gerwalk mode.

[@philtruscott195]

Most interesting. Many thanks.

[@cylonred8902]

That XB-70 was outside for many years and other than the SR71 the coolest plane ever. I have not watched the video yet - did you go to the Annex?

[@FancyaBevMate]

Great information mate

[@Skullyweb]

An amazing place. a must see for any plane nerd such as myself

[@ichasegaming]

If you ever get a chance, definitely should go see it.

[@Skullyweb]

I live 2 hours away. I will be going back for the WWI event Dawn patrol in 2018

[@MonkTheWorldTree]

i've been to this museum twice and still couldn't finish them! And last time I visited they were building additional hangar for museum

[@1969yenkofan]

Aww man I was medically retired from the Air Force. I live in Dayton had I known I would have given you a tour. I used to spend every weekend there!!

[@ichasegaming]

Awww X_x I would have loved that, perhaps next time :) definitely going to visit again in the future

[@Reddrum101]

if you ever get the chance, visit the National Museum of Naval Aviation, they let you touch all the planes and have guided tours by former navy pilots and you can meet the current Blue Angels crews after their morning practices.

[@jeffreymcfadden9403]

besides the memphis belle, the "swoose" a B17D is also under restoration. "swoose" is the oldest B17 extant. i was told, when the belle and swoose are finished, shoo shoo baby(which flew to the museum in the early 1990s), will leave. i hope they have a photo session when they move them around, so they can have in 1 photo a B17D,B17E,B17G.

[@MrBabylonandon]

Of all the bombers at the US museum (and in the US bomber fleet) the one that actually can carry the biggest payload is NOT the B-52. Its the B-1B Lancer (125K lbs) and it can out carry a B-52 (70K lbs) with about a 180% of its payload. A B-36 can actually carry 86K lbs with restrictions on total weight (fuel + bombs). The XB-70 Valkyrie is the most cool plane there. She's a flying goddess.

[@ThorsonWiles]

Visited the WPAFB Museum many, many times as a kid (2 hangars + the annex) , and visited some years back when they had 3 hangars + the annex. (The Annex was where the experimental and Presidential aircraft were stored/displayed.) Loved the place! The Memphis Belle is being put on display on either May 17th, 2018. I will be there for most, if not all of that week. I may visit the 8th Air Force Museum in Georgia on the way up from Florida, though. (The 324th Bomb Squadron was a part of the 8th)

[@ichasegaming]

And to think they want to build a fifth hanger X_x and that they have a C-5 Galaxy that's coming to the museum...whew

[@deathlegionair]

Live at Warner Robins, GA.. we got an airforce museum here by our base. Got some good planes as well.. Too bad a lot of the big history lovers on youtube never really come here, they would probably like the museum we got.

[@ichasegaming]

Just took a quick look at the website, and yeah seems to be a good museum with a good collection of aircraft. If I ever end up in Georgia, I'll see if I can go visit

[@JheregCG60]

Not weird at all Chase, just love of WWII stuff! YF-23 superior sleekness!

[@timo25ification]

Ichase, if you like stories, you should read up on Eric Brown. A British test pilot with many world records, the BBC did an interview with him shortly before he died and I highly recommend it.

[@jordanr5202]

iChase, if you ever get the chance, go to the Hiroshima museum. It's not anything particularly special by museum standards, but some of the stories. They're rather humbling. They've also got a nuclear weapon, though I believe it was never operational.

[@keptinkaos6384]

Hey hope your well you did pan over it when you did the B36 it was the B58 that the most beautiful bomber the USSAF ever owned MACH 2 classified built with a slide rule and pure genius so far ahead of its time they had trouble keeping them flying but if you go back it's so worth a look.

[@autorefresh1620]

im amongst one of ur 'students' since wows beta, the teacher's effort earned our respect

[@renardgrise]

Robin Olds = one hell of a Bad Ass

[@haojunchen5061]

iChase, I sent an email to you (I'm not sure if it was your KZbin email or not, but it should be), please tell me if you received it. I'm sorry for what happened with Wargaming, and I will always be here to support you. Its blatantly WG's fault, and its sad that you got the short end of the stick this time, but continue on and don't let this affect your content! We're always here for you, so don't let us down either! :)

[@phantomecho674]

Wonderful video!!!

[@ichasegaming]

Thanks! :D

[@outlawflyer7868]

Been there, going back to see the Memphis belle exhibit..

[@GunnyGreenhill]

cool video, thx iChase

[@drtidrow]

If you're a fan of American military aviation, this place _must_ be on your bucket list if it's not already. First time I ever went to it was as a kid, back when there were only two hangers... many of the planes were displayed outside since they didn't have room for them inside, and long before the IMAX theater and expanded gift shop. Seems like every time I go back they've added something new. Hmmm, wonder if they're going to do anything special for the '24 total eclipse... :-D

[@ichasegaming]

They are thinking of a fifth hanger and also from what I heard, they have a C-5 Galaxy that's coming soon

[@Doomdoof1]

you should do a tech tree look at for all the aircraft carriers

[@Bellthorian]

You missed talking about the Fritz radio controlled glide bomb under the German JU-88 bomber. They used it to sink the Italian battleship Roma.

[@spookythecat3055]

Xb70 is really your favorite one ? (The one you see was slow speed test version the one who was able to go over mach 3 was destroy during a flight with fighter where the airforce was doing picture for propaganda and the thing is that the High Speed versions cost so much that they dicided to stop the project)

[@Opaheke1]

Ohh, I'm jealous. And yes,, the YF23 is the prettier plane.

[@ichasegaming]

Yay :D she's such a pretty plane, if only USAF had F-23s :P

[@themythicalfire809]

perhaps that plane will be the f22 navy version they got f35 tho but its better to have a real fighter

[@bigbigmurphy]

You know what, Enola Gay is in Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in VA

[@irishtank42]

Up in my neck of the woods I see!

[@cylonred8902]

Wright Patt had a SAC (Strategic Air Command) B-52 wing for years and years. We were in the top 3 for nuclear bombing because of the B-52s and the research facilities.

[@ichasegaming]

Good to know, thanks!

[@GrumpyIan]

I like like 3 hours from it... I really need to go back to it.

[@scrag0416]

Certainly one of the premier Heritage Museums in America...if you ever get the chance...visit the Marine Corps Museum in Quantico. Allow a full day to take it in. Every figure in it is modeled after a retired or serving (at the time) Marine. I served for 28 years in the USN and 24 on SSN's so I say this with no reserve..one of the best ones to see in the USA.

[@ichasegaming]

Thank you, I will definitely put that on my list of future museums to visit

[@MarijnRoorda]

So jealous now. To visit this museum... Shame there is the atlantic in the way. Some day though.

[@xmlthegreat]

Ah, the XB-70. It looks like a starship, from the get go.

[@nathanwilder4404]

Now I want to go again

[@TheTripleAce3]

1 day. I missed Chase by 1 day.

[@gilangsuryadharma1295]

i always want to go there.

[@bullreeves1109]

2nd Also can you please let us know when the next *Know your ship* will be

[@ichasegaming]

Once the move is complete, I'll get back to making those videos

[@bullreeves1109]

iChaseGaming K thanks! I was actually worried you stoped making them

[@JayceonShawnTaylor]

Cool video, I do love history and always looking to learn more, so thank you for this video :) I hope that you will return to making WoWs videos again, am a big fan of yours!

[@RelativeGalaxy7]

How about a Tribal class destroyer video (Haida ;)

[@bullreeves1109]

Nah do the USS Nevada or Wyoming first! I've been wanting this and asking for it for Months in the comments Tribal class after one of them =3

[@manusjiedowen-ck12a18]

looks like hes's getting ready for warthunder

[@Golden_Spike]

Cool! Thanks for the tote bag and pins! I've sent you a private message with my address. I love Air Force museums. I've been to the one at Hill Air Force Base several times.

[@supersix1543]

Have you been too the 2nd museum at the Smithsonian? The one by dulles airport? With the sr-71?

[@ichasegaming]

Yup, been to that one too, but the size difference between the two museums is massive lol

[@ahmadjavedaj]

I was there its pretty cool too they have the only Do - 335 in the world which is an amazing plane to see in person.

[@supersix1543]

Whelp looks like I'm planning a new trip ;)

[@ahmadjavedaj]

I need to visit this museum so badly :( I love the XB-70 so sad that it never officially ever flew for the USAF

[@ichasegaming]

You should totally go, over 400+ planes, I think I was only able to show maybe ~10% of all the footage I had, which wasn't even everything that was there

[@ichasegaming]

and yay, another person who loves the XB-70. Such a pretty plane

[@ahmadjavedaj]

Oh wow 400+ planes I need a week to drool over all of them :)

[@HrosoSK]

iChase, and what about Tu-160? Do you like it? I love the looks of that bomber :)

[@simonkevnorris]

I'm based in Europe but managed to spend two days at the museum in 2000 (part of a trip for the USA F1 GP at Indianapolis) and went back there again for only a day in 2001. In 2000 I was able visit the air force base itself to see the presidential planes. We weren't allowed there in 2001 as that was just a few weeks after 9/11.

[@margretfortune1524]

Thank you great tour. Sorry what happen with WG. Became a Patreon for your wonderful site. Thank you again.

[@whiskeysk]

I had a similar "nuclear" eerie feeling as you described when visiting Tinian North Field. Very strange place.

[@Bellthorian]

Hey were you in the military when you were there? I was deployed there when I was in the Army in the 90's and saw the bomb pits.

[@whiskeysk]

no, wasn't in the military. I'm from Europe, and being interested in the history of WW2 in the Pacific, I went to see a few places - Guadalcanal, Peleliu, Guam, Saipan, Tinian, Ulithi, Pearl Harbor, also went diving to Truk twice. Almost made it to Midway, but the United Airlines cancelled the charter shortly before the trip. Also couldn't go to Iwojima or Wake, as they only allow US passports unfortunately.

[@tsbjelland]

My daughter learned to spell "Bitch" when she was 6 by reading the nose art on the B-24 ("Strawberry Bitch"). She always was a an observant learner.... :)

[@ichasegaming]

Indeed, I'd wager she's very bright, observant children usually end up being incredibly bright too

[@lightspeedvictory]

THEY HAVE A B-2 AND A B-1?!!!!!!!!! MUST! VISIT!!!!!!

[@lightspeedvictory]

Was the YF-22 on display?

[@anonymousstout4759]

Would you mind explained the mechanic on war thunder cos is more complicated to me...!!

[@stefansell5416]

B52 and F4 Phantom are soo sexy... love this planes :3

[@jagsdomain203]

2 best airplane musems are San Diego and the one your at. make the national air ad space embarressed. AZ has alot of aircraft musems as well. there not very big but everything flys. Chino CA is famouse as well.
