Aviation radio scanner tips?

Lots of air traffic around here all the time (Hornets, 53Es, Cobras) and I
was thinking about getting a scanner to listen in to the traffic up on the
base (Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center, if you don't recognize the line
in my sig). Any recommendations on a scanner that will hit military and
civilian aviation frequencies without breaking the bank?
