National Naval Aviation Museum, NAS Pensacola, Florida

We visited this superb museum on the 4th November, the day after the airshow. Ramp tours (in the bus) were cancelled, but a docent took pity on us and gave us tours in a golf cart, allowing us to stop and get out wherever we wanted for photographs - many thanks to him! Several ramp residents had been taken round the airfield to the airshow static display, so can be found on my airshow page for this tour.

I visited this museum during my 2015 Dixieland tour, so this page expands on those photos. I also revisited in 2024 – click here fo those photos.
