WWII weekend at the Mid-Atlantic Air Museum (think I got that right) is fun. Lots of gun parts (left of entrance) at the market, too. Maybe expect a lot of parts to be market or a little higher, but good selection. I think a guy had fucking Chauchat parts last year. You also get to see a lot of planes. Mostly originals, some replica, and whatever is being restored currently.

I'd also say try the see the Great Wall of China. It's super cool to see such a massive spanning structure, and to learn the history and operation of it. People will seethe in the (You)s about chinks and shit, but that's just the terminally online retards. The people there, while weary of foreigners, were still courteous. Just make sure either you or a friend speak and the regional dialect, or else the locals are gonna make you pay Yankee Tax.

Yamato Museum is really cool, and is across the street from the JMSDF museum.
Also the train station nearby plays the space battleship yamato theme when a train pulls in which is adorable.

picrel is both museums from when I was there in 2019, im planning on going back next month.

If you like pre-industrial /k/ stuff, the Hofjagd und Rüstkammer in Vienna has the best collection of armor in the world.

There are a few suits of 16th century plate armor where you can actually see the little hemispherical dent where the armor stopped a bullet.

My dream one day is to get an RV and spend an entire summer driving across the country to see all of the military and aviation museums in the country.

Really need to see the Spruce Goose down in McMinnville, Oregon.

Also from my own travels there is a great military museum in Istanbul with alot of old needle fire and flintlock muzzle loaders and the Beijing Millitary Museum has alot of old cold war stuff like shot down U-2s and obscure variations of Soviet fighters.

Sadly, most of the grounds is now a community college where they probably teach 13th Century Lesbian Poetry

Been there, done that. Go to see the Goose, but stay for the collection of post-WWII banana helicopters. The guy that put that collection together was into niche shit and he got things that don't exist anywhere else in the world.

Who wants to bet they're in some random overgrown brush in god knows where on some base? IIRC that's happened before on military bases. Everyone who knew something was somewhere forgets or retires and it just more or less vanishes. Then one day, boom, where the fuck did this thing come from and why is it here?

Tucson now has the Pima museum/boneyard, that tank museum, AND the Titan Missile museum not far off. Phoenix used to have that military museum you'd pass by on the way to the Zoo but the boomer owner unironically called some zoomers a bunch of sensitive bitches or something so he got fired, its not closed, but a lot of shit is just sitting there right now sadly.

Idgaf if it's a 4 hour drive from Tucson, go up to Lowell observatory on the most clear sky day you can. It's where Pluto was discovered and more importantly, everyone on Earth should be able to see the true beauty of a night sky as unspoiled by light pollution as possible. Words cannot do justice how profoundly beautiful it is.
