One of my favorite military museums is the Travis Air Force Aviation Museum located on the Travis Air Force Base north of San Francisco, California.  One of the headlights is a  replica of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki Nuclear bombs. 

Co-pilot provides details:The Travis Air Force Base Aviation Museum, also known as the Travis Heritage Center, is located at Travis Air Force Base in Fairfield, California. Here are some key highlights:

 

Aircraft Displays: The museum houses over 35 aircraft, including historic airlift and tanker aircraft. Notable exhibits include the C-141 Starlifter, C-5 Galaxy, and KC-135 Stratotanker1.

Exhibits: In addition to aircraft, the museum features various artifacts and exhibits that detail the history of the 60th Air Mobility Wing and its role in global air mobility, humanitarian missions, and nuclear deterrence1.

Interactive Experiences: Visitors can engage with interactive displays and learn about the technological advancements in aviation and the strategic importance of air mobility1.

Volunteer Opportunities: The museum relies on volunteers to maintain exhibits and assist with educational programs. It’s a great way for aviation enthusiasts to get involved1.

Accessibility: The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, but it is closed on Mondays and federal holidays. Visitors without a DoD ID card need to follow special base entry requirements1.

The museum offers a comprehensive look at the history and significance of air mobility and is a must-visit for aviation enthusiasts.
