Surprised Turkey is among the top ten most visited countries in the world. I knew it beautiful and popular, but not more than say Italy which ranks lower than Turkey.

I’ve been all over the USA. Spent days at the Smithsonian museums… But [this](http://www.aero-web.org/museums/oh/usafm.htm) stunned me -

THE UNITED STATES AIR FORCE MUSEUM near Dayton, Ohio is the oldest and largest military aviation museum in the world. The Museum uses both chronological and subjective layouts to tell the exciting story of aviation development from the days of the Wright brothers at Kitty Hawk to the Space Age. Exhibits include over 200 aircraft and missiles, plus family oriented and historically interesting aeronautical displays. Over one and a half million visitors from around the world come to Ohio each year to tour this unique free attraction.
