I live near the corner pocket of the USAF Museum. It is a magical place that requires at least a full day to appreciate.
There are no longer bus shuttles to the remote exhibit hangars as the expansion of the main complex now houses the exhibits.

This CH-21 was requested for display by the USAF Museum in 1966. My dad's name is on the flight manifest as the in-flight mechanic when he and the crew ferried it from Hurlburt Field #9 to Wright-Patt.

The F4u Corsair was being redone at Cherry Point when I was there , AJ might remember it . It was parked in a hanger and we used to drool over it , one beautiful bird .
My favorite trip to go see my sister and her kids was at Cherry Point. My BIL is a retired Marine officer and I went for a couple weeks to see them while he was deployed in '07. They were living right on the river and their girls and I would walk along the river and fossil hunt. I remember seeing Harriers landing as I was heading through the base to their house.

NAS Pensacola museum is great from the pilots statues gathered in front, through the exhibits, and the docents driving tour of the restoration area.
Crazy shooter shut it down for a while, so nice to hear it is running again.
Florida crazy beach rentals reaction to covid priced me out and annoyed me so not going back unless things change.

I have been Life Member of Naval Aviation Museum since 1989 when I headed up my F-14 squadrons campaign to recruit life members and get our colors on F-14 to be put outside main entrance.
I have been fortunate enough to visit the museum at NAS Pensacola many time while vacationing at Perdido Key, FL. Most memorable visits were with my Dad when we vacationed together with the family one year.
He was a WWII combat wounded vet from the Pacific Theater and in his senior years built and flew radio controlled airplanes. That week he and I went to the museum four different times. What fun!
He and I also stopped of a the USAF museum at Dayton on the way back from Camp Perry one year. I stopped there a few more times and took my daughter when she and I were visiting prospective colleges and universities for her to choose the beginning of her higher education.
