No it's not. For every person or family that could fly to a museum
there are hundreds of people or families that can drive to a museum.
It's called Econ 101, a subject you have referred to before and
claim familiarity with.

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

Nice idea, but not required. If a museum shows an antique goblet does
it still have to be able to hold wine? Who's going to test the Wright
Flyer to see if it still works?

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

An aviation museum that can't stay open because few people visit it at
some out-of-the-way podunk airport is even more pathetic.
