I have more from the F18A outside and all those wonderful historic USN
aircraft on the inside. I have never been to Pensacola before but can only say that for me, it is the best museum I have visited. I daresay many North American enthusiasts who cannot get to Europe would feel equally excited by the Shuttleworth Trust at Old Warden, the IWM at Duxford, the RAF Museums at Hendon and Cosford and many more over on this side of the pond, but for me it was a pilgrimage to see so many aeroplanes that I have been seeing on film and in pictures over 50 odd years but have never actually walked up to and touched. The very fact that you could touch and walk up to the aeroplanes and look in cockpits that are reachable from the ground. In addition it was so well set out. I would urge anybody who can get there to go. It's a fair drive, 450 miles or so, from Orlando for those Europeans holidaying there, but I went to the USAF Armament museum at Hurlbert as well which has many aircraft outside as well as T33, P47 and F105 inside along with all the weapons on show. They were free also. See the MOAB at the doors to the museum attached. At last I could walk around a B47. I might add that I really enjoyed my 5 days in Pensacola Beach as well. Let's face it, two mornings spent wandering around the museum plus dropping in for lunch at it's excellent Cubi Point Bar (holding all the memorabilia of navy and marine WESTPAC cruises from the original Cubi Point), with my long suffering wife - who enjoyed some nice quiet mornings on a, nearly deserted, beautiful beach outside the hotel. If you do go, can I recommend the Holiday Inn Express on Pensacola Beach. Great place and great staff. Not what you imagine from most Holiday Inn Express hotels. We intend going back as soon as we can afford it, which may be a while with the currency situation at present. "Lee" wrote in message 6.99... "ac249" rudely blurted out . uk: |

As a local resident, I thank you for the glowing review of our area. The Chamber of
Commerce thanks you , too. One correction, however, The Air Force Armament Museum is outside the main gate of Eglin AFB, not Hurlburt Field (which has its own nice collection).

Hi Les,
Thanks for the correction I got the feeling that Eglin and Hurlbert were all one absolutely massive military area. I know better now. I stopped at the main gate at Hurlbert to ask the way and wanted to photograph their spec ops aircraft just inside the gate but, like a fool, it was early morning and they were very busy so I just turned away as I didn't want to hassle them. I should have stopped on the way back into Pensacola but was too knackered after wandering about for a 2 or 3 hours in the sun at Eglin photographing all the exhibits. You're a lucky man living around there. Then again, I can jump in the motor and be in Hendon, Duxford or Old Warden within an hour so I shouldn't moan at all. I'll be back within a couple of years and this time I'll come back before the Blues finish their Weekly practice sessions. I am so P'd off that I missed being able to sit in the bleachers and watch them. Cheers Mike "Les Matheson" wrote in message ... As a local resident, I thank you for the glowing review of our area.
