A few years ago the National Museum of the United States Air Force had an exhibit called "100 Years of Heritage: National Museum of the United States Air Force, 1923-2023" that included a panel titled "A Look Into the Future" with a site plan of a proposed expansion of the museum.

The above plan shows another possible arrangement of existing and new facilities. The Master Plan study emphasizes energy and climate efficiency, the best possible preservation and visitor outcomes, and smart integration into the base environment. Development possibilities reflect a range of anticipated circumstances.
