Why you should go…

The Strategic Air Command & Aerospace Museum keeps its aircraft indoors in two buildings totaling 300,000 square feet in Ashland, between Omaha and Lincoln. You can walk around an SR-71 Blackbird, a B-52 Stratofortress and an F-117 Nighthawk, plus Cold War missiles and an Apollo command module. Daily docent tours start at the nose of the SR-71, and the Digitarium planetarium adds shows. The collection began at Offutt Air Force Base in 1959 and moved here in 1998.
