This public square in the heart of Cleveland’s downtown district was a filming location for the epic film, The Avengers (2012). The scene where Loki hypnotizes the crowd before being taken away by Captain America and Iron Man is meant to resemble Germany’s real-life Schlossplatz Stuttgart but was actually filmed just outside the square’s Terminal Tower building in 2011.

This free museum located on Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio is devoted to all things related to the US Air Force. Items on display include uniforms and memorabilia among their huge collection of airplanes. The museum has a permanent Disney Pins on Wings exhibit in their World War II Gallery. During the war, Walt established a team of six animators from his studio to assist in creating insignia for all branches of the US Armed Forces as well as Allied Military Units across the world. 1,200 designs were created and painted on the sides of planes, turned into patches for uniforms, and put onto letterhead for the troops. “The insignia meant a lot to the men who were fighting … I had to do it … I owed it to them.” – Walt Disney If you’d like to take a virtual tour of the exhibit, check out NMUSAFVirtualTour.com.
