Having been to the NMUSAF multiple times in my life, I don't think there is one single aircraft or exhibit that I can say is an absolute "must see" item. The entire museum should be a "bucket list" item for any aviation,space or history fan.

This museum is right on the cusp of being a 2-day visit to see everything. Which is a very good thing.

[@davehaggerty3405]

This is a museum that you can take someone with no interest in airplanes and doesn’t like museums. And they will be glad they came. It is just so well done.

[@USAFmuseum]

Thank you for that, sure is true!

The B-58."cowtown hustler " won the Bendix AND Bleriot trophies.

I need to find somebody to go visit again with.....I only live a couple hours from Dayton, but I lost my buddy/mentor/fellow vet and aviation nerd a few years back. My Missus, bless her, loves a tent and a National Forest, but will never drool over Century Series fighter, or get a lump in her throat when near a B-17, like I do.

I’m waiting for the restoration of the swoose goose! Now that’s an old warbird that I want a long close look at since it the only surviving early B-17 that I’m aware of.

[@pmvarnagis]

Greatest museum in America.

Honestly i go to the NMUSAF museum so much it’s basically a pilgrimage

[@felinespqr8317]

By must see aircraft, you mean all of them. They are all must see.

[@flyingfortressrc1794]

Walking into the museum is like walking into a toy store. I bounce from one cool thing to another. Lol

[@Skywarriorguru]

Please do a video of the B-66

[@robertmoffitt1336]

My personal top 5 list: Hanoi Taxi, Robin Olds SCAT XXVII, Bockscar, the SPAD XIII painted as Eddie Rickenbacker's SPAD, and finally the two F-4s (RF-4C Recce & F-4G Wild Weasel) from my unit in Desert Storm, 35th Tac Fighter Wing (Provisional).

The B-29 Bockscar. Dropped the second atomic bomb. This plane ended WWII.

[@2wheeldieseldemon294]

All are great aircraft.2 of my favorites are b17 and the blackbird

[@mistervacation23]

I want to see the relics from the lady be good B-24 bomber. The One that went down in the desert in 1943. Did You get to see that?

[@RavenBlaze]

Box Car!!!!

[@ConnectionSpaceReal]

I highly doubt this but will you add the F-35 soon? it would be great to see. And maybe in 20ish years, would you add the B-21?

[@RavenBlaze]

Apollo 15?

[@Wideoval73]

I hate to disagree with you, but all the aircraft at this great museum are must see....I visited close to a dozen times and have thouroly enjoyed each visit. Tax money well spent!
