  1. I do love this museum. Even better than the planes themselves are the volunteers sitting among the planes waiting to answer every question you have, frequently with their own personal or family stories. Some day I would like to visit the museum on my own (alone) so I can read and study everything there without being rushed along by the day’s companions.

  2. I’ve been going to NEAM for 30 years or so, and took my boys there last year for their first time. I wish the resto hangar was open to tours though; it’d be a cool thing to see.
