Very cool Tom! I grew up going to that museum nearly every year. When I was little, like 4 or 5 my parents told me that I considered all the big planes to be my "friends" and I would go around to each of the ones outside and hug the front tires... I was a silly kid...

Last time I was there in July of 2008, I toured the X-plane hanger. I had to give my favorite, the XB-70 a pat on the front wheel for old times sake...

I have tons of pictures that I could upload to p-bucket. They're all hi-res so it might take all night... While I was in the x-plane hanger, I was lucky enough to be able to crawl up under the F-22 prototype and take detailed pictures of all the wiring and plumbing under the landing gear bay. If you think your MB vacuum system is complex, you should get a load of that!
