Can You Name an "Aircraft-Accessible" Aviation Museum?

In another post about the fabulous new Udvar-Hazy Center (part of the
National Air & Space Museum), frustration with not being able to fly into
this terrific new facility was evident. I personally find it appallingly
ironic that museums which purport to glorify flight are not accessible by
aircraft, despite being located on an airport.

Which brings to the fore a question: How many aviation museums really ARE
accessible by light plane? I know, for example, that my two favorite
museums (the Air Force Museum in Ohio, and the Strategic Air Command
Museum
in Nebraska) are NOT accessible by aircraft.

A big thing in these woods was to fly to Middlesboro, KY and see Glacier
Girl, the P-38 Lightning melted out of the deep Greenland Icecap, where she
lay buried since the forties. I take it she's still there, one of only a
half-dozen remaining Lightnings.

The Palm Springs Air Museum site says Glacier Girl will be flying later
this month (Jan 24th): http://www.air-museum.org/ and check the events
page.

The REAL question is: "Will Glacier Girl be flying into OSH 2004?"

I hope they make it this year -- they really disappointed a lot of their
supporters last year.
