the 1916 raf fe8 is my favorit too watch fly loud motor but looks like its only going 30 miles per hour from the ground.

My favorite is the Kalamazoo Air Zoo, cause they have a place full of air planes, from the wright brothers to the Red Baron, to even a real Black Bird! They have simulators and everything, and then they have a building full of wwii airplanes with some that you can go into the cockpits.

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.

this was an interesting display in 1991 when I was at pensecola......photographers have it pretty tuff.....

That's the bad part about taking a chick wiht you to Pensecola.....she winds up in most of the aircraft photos.

Hmm...Duxford for me. They've so much stuff even I was 'airplaned out' by the end of it. I haven't been to Hendon for over 20 years but I recollect it being pretty special too. The Yorkshire Air Museum gets a mention, it has some fine exhibits including a Victor that trundles about the place making lots of noise, and they have a good airshow at the end of August every year, although now I'm down in benighted Wiltshire I haven't been for a while.

Duxford. The biggest aviation museum in Europe with a huge collection of planes. The only place outside the USA that exhibits a B-52, B-29 and SR-71. Also a Lancaster, two B-17s ( one airworthy ), a B-24, U-2, A-10, F-111, F-15, F-4s, and a whole load of British and European military and civil planes. My slice of heaven on earth!

duxford for me too. all that stuff above and more. you get to see guys working on all the planes also, as well as restoring them.
