Aviation history, up close & personal
Corpus Christi Caller-Times: "If rain falls on your Gulf Shores fishing trip then consider visiting the 300,000-square-foot National Naval Aviation Museum in nearby Pensacola.
Admission is free and I recommend one of the equally affordable guided tours conducted by the museum’s volunteer crew of enthusiastic military veterans. Our entertaining guide had been a pilot during the Korean War. And though he seemed almost apologetic about serving in the Air Force, he spoke highly of the Navy in general and of Naval aviators in particular."
