OK -- Here's the Ultimate List of 90+ "Aircraft-Accessible Aviation Museums"

Nice. Really nice. The Cavanagh Flight Museum at Addison, Texas says on
their website:
Flying Directions: The museum is located at ADS, Addison Airport and is East
of the runway on taxiway "U". Limited aircraft parking is available on our
ramp, please call in advance to check availability.

The "call in advance" is definitely recommended, and you might want to add
that to the next revision of your list.

I think this list of fly-in museums is by far the most useful I've
found --
thanks for helping to create it, folks! Please check it over for
accuracy,
and submit any additions/corrections you may find to me at


I have not had time to check all the web links (this whole endeavor has
ended up taking WAY too much time! ;-), so if you find any "dead" links,
please let me know...

Personally, I plan on frequenting those aviation museums that open their
front (or back) doors to the very people who make airplanes a part of
their
lives -- we pilots. It's a terrible irony that so many aviation museums
keep the runway-side doors locked, and I plan on using this list to help
put
money in the pockets of those curators who are enlightened enough to
welcome
us with open hangar doors!

Great page Jay. I agree with Hubbell; copyright the page in case you want to
make it a book. They have the $500 Round of Golf book so why not a $200 Day
at the Aviation Museum???

I would also like to suggest the Cradle of Aviation in NY. It may not
qualify because you need to take a bus from Republic airport but that's your
call.

Jay,

An excellent site. Nice work.

One question, shouldn't the Ottumwa, Iowa museum be listed as Blakesburg?

Warmest regards,
Rick

Well, good point. I went with Ottumwa because their webpage
(http://www.aaa-apm.org/) lists their location as "just West of Ottumwa,"
instead of "Blakesburg."

But, in retrospect, "Blakesburg" makes more sense. (And the name has
become pretty well-known in the aviation community...)

Thanks for the input!

You didn't exxplicitly call out the Seattle Museum Of Flight in this
respect, but having to enter on the street (west) side is a temporary
affliction while they renew the East entrance.

However, I don't know the plans for providing access from the ramps once
they do re-open. Right now, the east side parking lot (cars and Concorde) is
fenced in.
