University capital, Eppley's airline hub, and the Strategic Air Command museum
Three Nebraska airports along the I-80 corridor, the spine of the state. KLNK Lincoln Airport is on the north side of the capital city: the University of Nebraska–Lincoln (home of the Cornhuskers, the Memorial Stadium that's the third-largest "city" in Nebraska on home football Saturdays), the Nebraska State Capitol (a 400-foot Art Deco tower visible from 30 miles away — completed 1932, the country's first state capitol built as a skyscraper), and the National Museum of Roller Skating. East to KOMA Eppley Airfield Omaha: the Old Market warehouse district, the Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium (consistently rated the country's top zoo, with the world's largest indoor desert and largest indoor rainforest), and the Omaha Beach landing-craft replica at the Durham Museum. South to KOFF Offutt Air Force Base for the Strategic Air Command & Aerospace Museum — the actual SR-71 Blackbird that set the New York-to-London speed record (1 hour, 54 minutes) is here, along with a U-2, B-52, B-36 Peacemaker, and an Atlas missile.
