The museum was breathtaking and so informative. I especially liked the models of the aircraft carriers since my Dad and Brother each served on them while in the Navy.

Dont miss this! Free viewing of the amazing Blue Angels. Check the practice schedule and get there early to get a seat up on the bleachers for best views. Then check out the museum. A real treat for any aviation fan.
