It makes a difference to the director of the Museum. According to the comments he allegedly made and other evidence provided here by TOCH! members who were past visitors, the Museum doesn't give a hoot about accuracy and scholarship. But before we have the director and his staff boiled in oil or have the Museum shut down indefinitely, perhaps there are other issues involved that we don't know about such as budget limitations regarding restoration, directives from HQ USAF in Washington, morons running the place when the restoration was done many years ago, etc. If enough visitors wrote complaints about the mislabeling of their exhibits, it would eventually carry some weight and perhaps force changes in the way the place is run.
