Located in St. Charles Illinois
Webmasters Note: The airplanes are very
nicely kept, and they have some of the most beautifully built model airplanes
I've ever seen. It turns out, after I asked around awhile, that these
models were built by the night watchman.

Webmasters Note:
This is one of the finest museums in the world. I'm not kidding. Inside
they have
a 727 mounted from the second floor which gives a real nice show of flight
operations. Don't miss the Onmi-Max theater and the space center
Also see the fantastic U-505 German Submarine from WW2.
Allow yourself 2 days to see this one. I go here at least once
per year.
