Naval Aviation Museum

So I'm in Pensacola for some personal business, and I was flying this beer can last night

And I remembered that I hadn't been to the museum in a long time

I also saw the Blue Angels practicing for their Homecoming Show. I'll get to see that on Friday.

I haven't been there since Aircrew school in 1983. Looks very different from what I remember. But of course I had my share of those things in your first picture as with most squiddlys that visited.

Yup. I was there in the spring of '82, and I remember it being much more basic. It's first class now. The grill and bar/snack bar even looks like a cool flyboy watering hole. I've got the Wildcat and the Bearcat, but somehow didn't capture the all important Hellcat.

Edit: 1982. Not 1987 oooops.

We must have just missed crossing paths then I was there in March thru early June 83.
