Very nice set. I'm am a Chicago-land snowbird that has been spending my winters in the panhandle for the past 16 years. Whenever my grandson came down to visit this is one spot we always hit. 2014 was the last time. Us old folks have to get back over there. Thanks for reminding us how nice it is.

Great set! I was there around 1985, but I understand it is much better now. I love photo 8, as I spent over half of my 35 year career (26 of it as a Navy civilian aerospace engineer) doing in-service engineering on the S-3, a great airplane that was retired too soon. If you make it to the left coast, the best museum I've been to (of many) is the Evergreen Air and Space Museum in McMinnville Oregon. The Seattle Museum of Flight is almost as good IMHO. That statement may start an argument!

Thanks DJ but if you haven’t seen the Pensacola Naval aviation museum since 1985 you would not recognize it it is absolutely gorgeous. Haven’t been to the Evergreen museum but I’ve been to Seattle’s Museum of flight and the Pensacola museum is a tad better (opinion) plus it’s all navy with some Air Force thrown in...😎😎...Cheers

I really want to get back to Pensacola. If you like airplanes, Evergreen is outstanding; the "Spruce Goose" is there in addition to a great collection. I have a soft spot for the Navy, but the USAF museum at WPAFB in Dayton is also one of the best.

You could almost eat off the floors they’re so polished and the prospective naval aviators to provide escorts...they’re waiting their class/seat assignments....not to mention it’s ALL self funded through donations.
