If I may go into some of the subtle details here, I've been to the Wings Over the Rockies Museum a couple times before. Would absolutely recommend to any aviation enthusiast. It's in the Lowry neighborhood, which gets its name from being on the site of the former Lowry Air Force Base. Most of the base is long gone without a trace, but they did keep a hangar for that museum, along with a few planes that I don't think will ever be able to be taken out without some serious dismantling. It's also right next to Lowry Beer Garden, which is a great place to sip a few beers with a view of a B-52 bomber next door.

As for Mike McCasky's speech, I'd be very interested to hear what's planned for the training center - that's the building I work at. In the Stapleton neighborhood (where the Stapleton airport used to be, go figure) this complex kind of sticks out like a sore thumb around the new houses built, and to be honest I was sure it would be demolished with this new neighborhood being as hot as it is. But they are keeping it, and I couldn't be happier about that. On an obvious note, I have some friends who work in simulator operations, and their jobs as they know it were dependent on staying in Denver, even if a software developer like me can get a new office space elsewhere. For another, the architecture of the older buildings of the training center is really neat. You just can't find anything like it these days. There are just these nuances that go back to the golden age of aviation, in some ways like the TWA terminal at JFK.
