    Ok, this is your chance to tell the world which aviation museum you like most and why.

    I'll start with the RAF Museum, London ( cause it's the nearest to my place )

    The National Museum Of The United States Air Force, at Wright Field, Dayton Ohio.

    Two hours from me by car.

    Simply the best. From the Wright Model B Flyer to the F22, and beyond.

    And it is free.

    Be sure.

    The Imperial War Museum, London has some interesting aircraft. A V2, a Lancaster cockpit/fuselage you can walk through*, a HE-162 hanging from the ceiling and some others that I can't remember.

    *I dicovered there that a Lancaster front gunner had to sit for the whole flight with his head between the navigator's legs (er.....that's facing outwards). Design flaw, or maybe it was intentional.

    Sure Pingu, I stand corrected, it was just a vague recollection of some information I picked up last time I was there, which must have been 10 years ago.

    Naval air museum in Pensacola Floride. I'm sure there are better one's but this is the best one I've been to. A large collection of very well maintianed airplanes, very friendly staff that's very good at letting you see stuff up close (i.e. cockpits) if you ask nicely.
