In other words, these museums are located on airports -- where aviation
museums belong. I personally find it absurd that so many aviation
museums are inaccessible by plane -- I mean, what were they thinking?

Yeah, really. I mean it's absurd they put an aviation museum in the middle
of a downtown area right next to all of those other museums. And they had
the nerve to put "National" in the name of such a poorly located museum.



Suffice to say, other than for a museum where the airplanes are actually
flying, I see no compelling argument to site an aviation museum at an
airport rather than somewhere else. Many factors come into play when
deciding WHERE to put a museum, and access by airplane has got to be one of
the least important, even for an aviation museum. What were they thinking?
They were probably thinking that they had a good reason to select the site
they selected, rather than putting their museums at airports just for the
sake of being at an airport.
