Magnificent! Incredible! Awesome! I spent more than 4 hours here. So many things to be seen. I truly loved the entire collection gathered and displayed. Fighter jets, helicopters, missiles, tanks, cannons, guns, swords, knights etc. Fantastic! History at its finest! Oh, and don't miss the roof top view - you can…
