NMUSAF ~ "DAYTON, Ohio – In 2023 the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force celebrates its 100th Anniversary as the world’s oldest and largest military aviation museum.

The museum will commemorate this major milestone anniversary with events and exhibits that celebrate its humble beginnings as a small engine study lab at McCook field, through its growth to more than 19 indoor acres housing more than 350 aerospace vehicles and missiles, and thousands of artifacts. The museum’s vast collection highlights the evolution of flight and the history and establishment of the U.S. Air Force as an independent service.
