I just got back from there. If you have not been there, it is worth the trip. We got there at 9am and stayed until closing. There is fund raising going on to build another massive hanger that will house all the planes in the R&D/Presidential hanger along with a C-5 and some planes from the air park. They are also in the process of rebuilding/restoring the only XC-99 in existence.

A great airplane musuem.  It really does take two days to really get to explore the museum.  And my significant other has not forgiven me yet for dragging her there years ago.
