Western Museum of Flight

Want to walk up and touch a real stealth fighter? You can at the tiny Western Museum of Flight. In back, there are a dozen or so parked aircraft, mostly military such as F14, F18, A4 etc. and one of the two YF23A prototype stealth fighters. The museum itself is mostly a dusty clutter of old airplane parts -- more a restorer's workshop than a museum. [Bill Kaida, 08/28/2000]
