That museum is freaking awesome though. Too much history for just one day, need a couple days to do it right, and two days probably isn't enough either.
Helluva deal getting into a free chilly museum on hot OH summer days. For all the AF has bumbled up, they sure did great on that museum.

And full disclosure: they had done probably the same "ditch the bags in the crew room quick and catch the bus" routine i had done. But for the love of Pete, at least have the decency to loose the epaulets, brass and ID!
I'd probably cut them a break if they're that close to the airport and probably on duty.
If they're on an overnight, yeah that's toolish.

I get your point but I think they still get a sideways look and only half a break.
