Some of the comments yielded the unexpected. About three hours southeast of Chicago, there's a big surprise in the tiny town of Peru, Indiana -- population 11,417.

CNN commenter lastdomino pointed outGrissom Air Museum as an "off-the beaten path gem."

Indeed you are correct, lastdomino!

This gem has three aircraft crown jewels:

--AnF-102 variant trainer jet called the TF-102A that was flown by a young Air National Guardsman by the name of George W. Bush, according to museum officials.

--A sharp F-100C Super Sabre fighter plane that the museum says was formerly piloted by some guy named Neil Armstrong. Later, he went on to be the first man to walk on the moon.

--A World War II-eraB-25J bomber named Passionate Paulette, which you may have already seen -- if you've ever watched the classic 1970 film "Catch-22."

"If you're ever close ... definitely worth the trip," lastdomino wrote.
