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.

An aviation museum that can't be accessed by air is rather like an auto
museum that can't be accessed by car.

Sure, it might work -- but IMHO antique airplanes (a) should be kept in
flying condition, and therefore (b) should be at airports.

Anywhere else, and they're like clipped-wing birds. Sorta pathetic.
