Dear Guest:
You are right. The AAF Museum is an enormous and very important facility that deserves to be much better known. Any first-time visitor would be astonished at the collection and the vast building housing it.

I HAVE READ MANY OF THE (SIMPLISTIC) REVIEWS OF THE 'AMAZING'AAF MUSEUM AT DANVILE, VA.
I HAVE VISITED THE MUSEUM AT LEAST 9 TIMES IN THE PAST 12 YEARS. THE GENERAL PUBLIC HAS NO IDEA OF THE VAST COLLECTION OF ARMOURED TANKS, AND AUTOMATIC WEAPONS AND CANNONS THAT ARE ON DISPLAY IN A 330,000 SQ.FT FORMER MANUFACTURING FACTORY, ALL UNDER ONE ROOF. THIS FAMILY OWNED COLLECTION IS EASILY WORTH 30-40 MILLION IF EVER AUCTIONED. IT IS THE ULTIMATE MILITARIA COLLECTION!!THE SOLE OWNER, BILL GASSER, IS A "WALKING ENCYCLOPEDIA" OF KNOWLEDGE ON EVERY DETAIL OF HIS 105 MILITARY "TANKS", AS WELL AS OVER 25,000 ARTIFACTS, INCLUDING UNIFORMS AND A FULLY STOCKED MACHINE SHOP WHERE VOLUNTEERS RESTORE THE TANKS TO FULLY OPERABLE CONDITION!!THIS MUSEUM PUTS THE FORMER "PATTON" MUSEUM AT FORT KNOX TO SHAME!..CHECK OUT THEIR WEBSITE, AND GO VISIT. YOU SIMPLY WILL NOT BELIEVE THE HUGE EXTENT OF ONE MANS' COLLECTION. IF YOU REALLY LOVE ARMS, AND ARMOR...YOU WILL ABSOLUTELY NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!......BE FORE-WARNED....BRING YOUR WALKING SHOES, AND BUDGET AT LEAST 6 HOURS...(WIVES AND ANTSY KIDS ARE NOT LIKELY TO ENJOY...).
