Is the Eglin AFB museum open to the public? Since 9-11 several bases have
had to restrict museum attendance to DOD personnel or to school/civic groups
(e.g Peterson AFB and Dover AFB, among others). I'd love to visit Eglin's
if there are no such restrictions.

While I have not been there since the hurricanes, I was there
since 9/11. You do not have to enter the base to visit the
museum, and the museum is on public streets. In fact, while
the museum building closes at something like 4PM, the grounds
are open until dark.

Where is the museum exactly? Close to I-10 or is it near the Gulf?

From Pensacola, take US-98 along the gulf to Fort Walton
Beach. Then take Highway 85 north a few miles. The
museum is just outside of the west gate to Eglin at
the intersection of Highway 189. I have also taken
Highway 393 off of US-98, then turned on 189. This area
is very confusing since it is growing very fast, and
maps cannot keep up with the rapid change.

Thanks for the directions: I don't know who asked that question, but they
did it for me anyway.
