Hello Ercoupers, The latest news is that we will not be able to get a separate behind the scene tour of the Air Force Museum. They do a regularly scheduled tour every Friday at noon but the number of people that can do the tour is limited and you need to sign up ahead of time. You can sign up on line or by phone. The web site says they are now taking reservation through May so we still have time. Here is the web site with the info.
http://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/visit/tours/index.asp The good news is the reason they can't accommodate a separate tour on that week end is that it is the Base Annual Tattoo celebration and there will be a special air show that Friday. http://www.wpafb.af.mil/tattoo/index.asp There are still many folks on the sign up site with the Holiday Inn as their hotel. Don't forget to change hotels.
