National Naval Air Museum Tour of Aircraft - 2024 4K

We take a walking tour of some very significant aircraft at the Naval Air Museum in Pensacola, FLA.
The National Naval Aviation Museum is the world’s largest Naval Aviation museum and one of the most-visited museums in the state of Florida. Feel the excitement of Naval Aviation’s rich history and see more than 150 beautifully restored aircraft representing Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard Aviation. These historic and one-of-a-kind aircraft are displayed both inside the Museum’s over 350,000 square feet of exhibit space and outside on its 37-acre grounds.
The National Naval Aviation Museum, formerly known as the National Museum of Naval Aviation and the Naval Aviation Museum, is a military and aerospace museum located at Naval Air Station Pensacola, Florida.
Founded in 1962 and moved to its current location in 1974, the museum has now been reopened to the public starting May 2023, after a temporary close in 2019.
The museum also functions in coordination with the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIRSYSCOM or NAVAIR) as the Navy's program manager for nearly all other retired Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard aircraft on display aboard U.S. military installations in the United States or overseas, or in numerous other museums or public displays. In a similar manner to U.S. Air Force aircraft on loan from the NMUSAF's collection that remain under official USAF ownership, these other American-preserved naval aircraft remain the property of the Department of the Navy and are typically identified at these locations as being "On Loan from the National Naval Aviation Museum."
The museum has a Giant Screen Theater, flight simulators, Blue Angels 4D Experience, museum store, and cafe. The Cubi Point Café displays squadron memorabilia from the closed NAS Cubi Point Officers' Club.

Greetings, James!!! Glad you enjoyed the brief tour and sorry we did not have a Spitfire to show you! However the P-40 comes close. The place is amazing and wish we could have had more time there to see the theater, flight simulators, etc, but my flight was leaving from PNS in 2 hrs. We'll go back and take in some Blue Angles practices too!

Yes!! We were impressed with how many aircraft and displays there were and the span of time it covered historically. as you can tell, the cutaway engine displays were of great interest too. We did not get to the flight simulators or theater at this visit. Thanks for your interest.
