Like many people, I enjoy a good museum. Science, art or specialty, it doesn’t matter. But some museums just stand out from others. You walk in and instantly you know you are in for a treat. Aviation museums have the edge in that their exhibits tend to be a bit larger and more impressive. Find one in your area and give it a try. Whether you like flying or not, you’ll enjoy the visit.

Wearing the colors of its old squadron, VF-151, and the Bureau Number 123050, this F9F-2 Panther is one of five showpiece aircraft suspended in the Quarterdeck at the National Museum of Naval Aviation in Pensacola, Florida.
