Thanks in advance Falcon The museum survived with little damage. The outside exhibits did not do that well. Some were mostly destroyed, some damaged moderately and some suffered little damage. Museum itself was ready to open as soon as the base was cleared enough to host visitors. See http://broadcast.illuminatedtech.com...p=134&sid=8466 . Tex |

While you are in the Pensacola area, make sure you see some of the other airplane museums in the area. There is a great USAF musuem at Eglin AFB, about 45 minutes east of Pensacola. And to the west is the USS Alabama at Battleship Memorial Park, just east of Mobile. Battleship Park has new aircraft museum that includes an SR-71 (as does the USAF Armaments Museum at Eglin AFB). -john- -- ================================================== ==================== John A.

![]() Is the Eglin AFB museum open to the public? Since 9-11 several bases have had to restrict museum attendance to DOD personnel or to school/civic groups (e.g Peterson AFB and Dover AFB, among others). I'd love to visit Eglin's if there are no such restrictions. "John A.

I'd love to visit Eglin's if there are no such restrictions. Good question. Don't know the answer to that one, I'd call them in the morning if I were you: http://www.eglin.af.mil/phone-listing.htm By the way, the operator at the first number can help you if none of the others quite match what you want. There have to be a whole lot more phone numbers for a base that size. One more thing, I'm pretty sure Eglin has an airshow in about a month. Timing is everything ![]() |
