Took this information of a Pensacola newspaper. This segment mentions the
museum. Looks like the museum itself weathered the storm with only minor
damage. Doesn't go into much detail about what damage was done to static
aircraft displays.

" The National Museum of Naval Aviation was almost unscathed by the storm.
Nichols said there were a few leaks in the roof, but the exhibits inside
were unharmed.

Some of the historic aircraft parked on the tarmac behind the museum were
damaged, however. The canopy of an A-6 was sheared off. A couple of wings
lay on the pavement and some planes, evidently blown off their moorings, had
collided with other aircraft, causing significant damage."
