Default New Plan -- Going to Kill Devil Hills

The museum at P-cola is nice, but (IMO) it is the only reason to visit the
city. For a family, even an aviation family, there may be better
destinations unless you're gonna be in the area anyway. For instance, the
Air Force Museum at Warner Robbins, GA (Near Macon) is 2nd only to the Air
Force museum in terms of USAF (and AAC) aircraft on display. And it is
closer to Charleston and Savannah.


I've always wanted to visit Warner-Robbins, as my parents were
stationed there for a year during World War II. This was pre-air
conditioning, and my mom always spoke of the area with both affection
and repulsion. (My dad, a "90-day-wonder", had little time to worry
about the weather.)

And, if you go to Warner Robbins, you can turn the trip back north, visit
the Aircraft Spruce store at Falcon Field near Atlanta, head NW to the Space
and Rocket museum at Huntsville, Alabama to see the only erected (IIRC)
Saturn rocket in existance.


Cool! Thanks for the suggestion. We're outta here in about an
hour...
