"And having more than 1 B-17 is most impressive!"

Personally I was most impressed by the Blackbird, which is the actual aircraft that set the altitude record.

I think that what impressed me most about the SR-71 Blackbird, the first time that I saw one at Wright Patterson, was just how small they are... I thought that they'd be much larger.

The old AFB at Merced has a great display, they even have a B-36. Unfortunatly none of it is in the best of shape.
