What he said (thanks Bob! Saved me a bunch of typing )

Certain aircraft collections belong at airports, because those collections
are still flying. But most collections no longer fly, nor is it even
reasonable to expect them to. Furthermore, there are lots of reasons
airports make BAD places for a museum, even an aviation museum.

Okay, you win. There are many valid economic reasons for not basing
aviation museums at airports. Who goes to airports, anyway?

Heck, now that you mention it, why would we want all those people at the
airport in the first place? All those ground-pounders would probably just
get in the way. Let's make sure they stay away.

Although I understand your points, I think you've missed a few of mine.
Aside from the fact that fly-in museums are clearly better for pilots to
visit, they are also better for our ever-dwindling airports.
