text: I think the effort to make this a tourist attraction is there but I consider it a disappointment The aircraft selection is just ok A couple of decommissioned fighter jets an experimental aircraft or two shiny old Piedmont passenger plane and a small handful of others Most of the aircraft are roped off however three to four are not and with supervision you can sit in a cockpit or two The hangar includes a few glass case displays is not very well lit and smells a little of motor oil to be expected I guess Apparently there are a few more aircraft outside but due to a security issue there is no access to those The show stopper is the Miracle in the Hudson US Airways airplane As of July nd it is still being assembled but is on display with a rolling video feature of a TV documentary detailing the actual events The first thing I noticed was that it is LITTERED with corporate logos That is terribly disappointing The museum has a Smithsonian type attraction and to see corporate advertising all over it was upsetting My hope is that those will be removed at some point and the museum will allow people to actually board the plane If neither one of those happen I think it will be embarrassing for the museum the city and for the folks who paid to see an iconic attraction they way it was supposed to be seen If you do not HAVE to see the Miracle aircraft my advice is go to an airshow near you You will get to see some aircraft actually in the air and most include a static component In those cases the planes usually are not roped off and you may even get to meet the pilot
