I never get tired of looking at this picture. So much innovation, history, and SPEED. Among the groundbreaking designs in this picture from the USAF museum’s fourth hangar: XB-70, X-15, X-29, YF-12, X-5. This was taken just a few weeks after the hangar’s opening in 2016. #usafmuseum #airforcemuseum

I love the F-22, but you have to admit that the YF-23 is a mighty-fine looking aircraft. #avgeek #aviation #airplane #military #usaf #usafmuseum

A metalic “flying saucer” is on display at the Museum of the United States Air Force. The vehicle flew, but became unstable as it gained height and never flew faster than 35mph.
