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. You can fly into the airport, you just can't taxi up to the buidling. College Park has a nice museum adjacent to the FBO "buildings". Of course you have to have prior permission to fly in the CGS these days. I've been through the fingerprinting and rectal probing required however. The Virigina Air Museum at Richmond International is on the airport property and one of the FBO's is right next door, so you can walk from your plane to the museum. Also the Kalamazoo air museum is on the field and I can't remember if I got a lift over there from the FBO or not. 5. Oshkosh, WI. EAA Airventure Museum. This one is only "sort of" accessible by air. When I flew in during the winter in '95, I had to park on the opposite side of the airport (miles away) at Basler, and they drove us over to the museum. Unless you are going to land on the grass at Pioneer field, the AirVenture museum ain't any closer to your plane than parking at Signature is to go to the Hazy center. |
