I live fairly close to the wonderful museum this is located at on Hill Air Force Base north of SLC.

This new exhibit is really neat but not very big, all things considered, and not worth the trip on its own.

What is worth the trip is the museum as a whole, with an F-117, the only SR-71C in existence, an F22, and all kinds of other planes and rockets - it's not Wright-Patterson, but it's one of the better USAF museums I've been to.

The museum at Edwards AFB in California is amazing[0], but is located on the base so you have to get prior permission to visit it as a civilian.

When I was there a few years back, they were fundraising to move the museum to a more publicly accessible location. It looks like that was successful, and it will be re-opening soon: https://www.desertnews.com/news/article_c95e0a2c-edc4-11ed-9...
