Naval Aviation Museum, Pensacola, Florida (October 31, 2019)

Went to Florida (which will be the subject of my next posts) and one of the places we visited was the Naval Aviation Museum. This is located on NAS Pensacola and was a remarkable place to visit. If you have been to this page, you know I am a huge fan of aviation.
The museum was free to enter and had some amazing differences with the National Museum of the United States Air Force which is here in Dayton. For one, the museum lets you get up close and personal with the aircraft. In Dayton the planes are roped off, and you better not get too close. In the Navy museum, you can touch them.
     Another big difference is that many of the planes are outside. You can see that in the last photo which is also of the type of aircraft (P-3 Orion) which is served with during my Navy days. Visiting this museum was much like being home again in fact. Six photo below is from the Cubi Point Officers Club. When the Navy left the Philippines we took our bar with us (though I was enlisted and only got to see it here). At any case, a remarkable museum and highly recommended by me. If you get the change, definitely go see it! You will be glad you did.
