| Great museum. I think it is their satellite museum up on the way to the Grand Canyon, next to Flintstone's Village. Also worth the trip. |

| I don't think this plane was ever meant to be a fighter, but more for propaganda: Look how fast our planes can fly. They never let on that it wasn't a fighter, however. |
