It looks like I'll have to put my visit off for another few years then!
I did not see any mention of a C-5 or a KC-10 on the site. I assume they will end up with them. I wonder if they will get them into the hangar?

The way its set up right now there will be no room in this new building for either a C-5 or a KC-10

There are specific tail numbers of KC-10, KC-135, and C-5 that they want.

We discussed the NMUSAF C-5 plans in this thread not long ago. viewtopic.php?f=3&t=49475&p=497900&hilit=galaxy#p497900

Original plans for the new building showed a C-5, but that was dropped soon therafter to get more of the R&D aircraft out of the annex.

For those here who have not seen the layout for the new buiding check this www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/shared/media/ ... 30-003.jpg

It will be nice when the new building is completed. All the work being done on the Shuttle Trainer exhibit in the Cold War Gallery has caused a lot of the aircraft to be moved around. Last time I was there it wasn't possible to get up close to the Stealth or get a good view of many of the aircraft at that end of the hangar. Not complaining, but if you go specifically to see any of those aircraft you might be a little disappointed. Although if that ruins your visit... you must have missed the other hundreds of awesome aircraft and artifacts on display.
