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?

There is a hangar at PJY that deserves to be on this list. Never made
it down there, but I've seen the pictures. 8^)

The Owl's Head Transportation Museum in Owl's Head Maine (RKD). There's also a
small one at Colleg Park, Maryland, if the TSA ever opens the airport back up.

Great discoveries are not announced with "Eureka!". What's usually said is
"Hummmmm... That's interesting...."

http://www.southernmuseumofflight.org/ Located at the airport in
Birmingham, Alabama. Two blocks from Birmingham International Airport.

Right up the road form me in Tullahoma, Tennessee is the Staggerwing museum.
www.staggerwing.com. It's a 20 minute flight for me. Never made it. Will
one day soon. Other than pretty much any low wing plane, the Staggerwing is
the sexiest plane ever made.

You USED to be able to fly into the National Naval Aviation Museum down in
Pensacola. This has gotta be one of the best, highest quality museums ever
made. Sure naval.aviation.museum/intro.html. What a shame that we can't
fly there anymore. But there's still a ramp that goes right up to the
entrance so there may be hope one day that we can fly there again.

Add the Mid Atlantic Air Museum in Reading, Pennsylvania, Carl Spatz Field
(KRDG) to your list.
http://www.maam.org/ Request taxi to the museum. Open daily. Don't miss
their WW II weekends, usually the first weekend of June. "The Museum's
collection includes award-winning warbirds, classic airliners, rare & unusual
military and civilian aircraft and historic exhibits."

Also, the New England Air Museum in Windsor Locks, Connecticut, Bradley Intl
Airport (KBDL). http://www.neam.org/cont_about.htm Inquire FBO about a
courtesy shuttle to the museum. Open daily.

Also, The Aviation Hall of Fame & Museum of New Jersey at Teterboro Airport,
(KTEB). http://www.njahof.org/ Open Tues-Sun 10-4. Not sure about ramp or
courtesy shuttles, KTEB can be extremely busy, so best to call ahead.

Hope this helps !
