Wow! Thank you for posting this. I had no idea that there was an American air museum anywhere outside of the US. It looks like their collection of more "modern" airplanes rivals that of the Wright Patterson AFB museum! I didn't expect to see either a B-52 or an SR-71. 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.
