Though the base remains open, it is unclear if any other areas suffered significant damage, as well. The tornado reportedly hit the National Museum of the Air Force, which is situated roughly a mile and a half southwest of the main base. On May 28, 2019, the Museum announced that the Early Years Gallery, which has displays covering the beginnings of U.S. military aviation, including a reproduction of a Wright Brothers 1909 Military Flyer, the first heavier-than-air military flying machine ever, would be closed for repairs.
The Early Years Gallery is temporarily closed for repairs.

Hopefully, the total damage to Wright-Patterson will turn out to be relatively minor.
