National Museum of the Air Force....

U S Army Air Force A24 Banshee
...Ohio, what a great place this turned out to be,
if you like planes, this is one fine place to be,
planes of every size from old to new are seen,
it takes a lot of time to visit each machine.

Come on in, look around and see,
what man has made, and what's to be,
all types of planes that have been flown,
from the first to the last can all be known.

National Aviation Heritage Area...

Where it all started (click to enlarge)
...Ohio, from the bicycle shop where the first step was made,
to super fast Blackbirds that really need shade,
they're all here within a few miles of each other,
and, of course, what came in between, that's here to discover.

It may take a couple of days to go 'round,
check out these planes, pound by pound,
so why not settle in, come along for the ride,
at this great source of national pride.
