Anyone have any recommendations on a local airport/FBO to fly into to visit the
Naval Air museum in Pensacola while in Florida?

Nice folks. Will probably lend you a car to go to the museum.

Though the museum is open, neither it nor NAS Pensacola have fully
recovered from Hurricane Ivan.

Most of the hotels & motels in Pensy seem to be accepting bookings,
however.
