As Peter M. mentioned, LNS is a really nice stop. There's a nice
restaurant and a pilot shop. You can demo headsets at their demo panel
to your hearts content. Lots of stock is on display. They also carry
many toys, gliders and models. Luckily, I'm just a short hop away at
Wings, LOM.

I had the same experience. I was "off to see the wizard" and when I
got there...what a huge disappointment. Not only was it small, but
what they did have on display was locked behind glass. I guess I had
pictured the store being similar to the gift shop at the Smithsonian
only with pilot gear. I wanted to "play" with various headsets,
trinkets from the wright Bros. catalog, handhelds, etc. Instead it was
more like a 7-11 only with all the goods locked up where you couldn't
touch them. They would get the headsets out if you asked, but it just
wasn't much fun with someone standing over you watching you try on one
headset and then have to ask for the next. The girl helping me was
anxious to get back on the phone with her boyfriend so I took my cash
home with me. Probably a good thing because I was worried I was going
to drop a grand on "toys" I really didn't need.
