It's a fascinating place, isn't it?
Here's the press release from the museum:
National Museum of the U.S. Air Force
4/12/2011 - DAYTON, Ohio -- The National Museum of the U.S. Air Force was not selected to receive any of the operational shuttles or the gliding prototype Enterprise.
Although unfortunate for the Air Force, we respect NASA's decision and will move forward with our plans for a new fourth building to house the Presidential Aircraft Gallery, Space Gallery, and Global Reach Gallery featuring cargo and tanker aircraft. The Space Gallery will be populated with exhibits featuring the Apollo 15 Command Module, Mercury and Gemini spacecraft, and a Titan IV space launch vehicle for future display, as well as an X-15, X-24 and other assets which helped develop shuttle program technologies
