I have been aviation mad all my life, bought up on RAF Stations, Helicopter Tech in the Army etc.
Now that I am fortunate to travel, I always try to fit aviation museums into my vacations.( I have a lovely understanding wife).
In the USA..
Pensacola Naval Aviation museum
Eglin armaments museum
USS Alabama memorial park
Kermit Weekes fantasy flight in Polk.
Castle AFB, California
San Diego air and space, California
USS Midway , California.
USS Intrepid, NY
SmithsonIan Aispace on Washington Mall
Hazy Centre at Dulles
Museum of the USAF at Dayton Ohio.

This year it is Pima Arizona and the Desert boneyard.

Live aircraft flying about? Yes, when at an airport, but my interest is more Military, Historic and Technical..
