Just took a little trip up to Eugene, OR. We stopped on the way at the Warhawk Air Museum in Nampa, ID (Check out their virtual tour, it's pretty sweet!). They had a stunning amount of historical military artifacts, most with a personal Idaho attachment. I of course had to take a picture of one of their P-40's...
I didn't see their other one ("Parrot Head"), but the interesting thing about them is it seemed like most were ready to be wheeled out and filled up. A lot of the planes had oil drip pans under them. So it was probably off at an airshow somewhere.
In Eugene we also went to the Oregon Air & Space Museum. Much smaller, but the nice thing was tons of planes had ladders so you could climb up and look inside, including an A-6 Intruder. Two that caught my eye's were the BD-5,
and the QAC Quickie, designed by Burt Rutan.
