I, myself, haven't been there in some years. I've actually been to the Navy museum (Pensacola) more recently and it, too, is cosmic. But a virtual USAF museum "tour" is possible, organized by exhibit area. http://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/exhibits/index.asp

Between 1960 and 1969 we lived in a northern suburb of Cincinnati and visited the "museum" on an almost monthly basis. I would love to see it now.
