Awesome museum. An hour from the house.

[@OffOurCouch]

Yes, totally agree! It’s great that you’re so close too! Thanks for watching~ Nat

[@thesnazzycomet]

I should be going next year - love from the UK!

[@OffOurCouch]

Enjoy your visit! Thanks so much for watching~ Nat

[@trespasserswill7052]

Let us know how the visit goes. Eglin and the USS Alabama are also excellent museums.

[@pm92564]

They are constantly adding and changing things in the museum. So, if you saw it 5 years ago or even 2 years ago, it is worth going again.

[@OffOurCouch]

Oh, that’s good to know because we’ll be back in the area this year. Thanks for letting us know and thanks for watching! ~ Nat

[@cogman62]

Outstanding museum! Rivals the Smithsonian.

[@OffOurCouch]

It is an incredible museum! Thanks for watching~ Nat

[@trespasserswill7052]

Does the Smithsonian have a Tomcat now?

[@garypugh1153]

Nice tour i rushed thru once with my young daughter, wish i could walk the whole place. 😊

[@OffOurCouch]

We definitely know where you’re coming from! In order to see and appreciate this museum, you need lots of time! There is just so much to explore here! Thanks so much for watching ~Nat

[@FloridaandBeyond]

We drove past the naval dive center in Panama City Beach. Free is good! Great museum with lots to learn! Thanks for the share! 🙂

[@OffOurCouch]

Wow, we haven’t heard of that museum! Definitely will have to check it out one day! My Panhandle bucket list is already so long 😅Thanks so much for watching! ~Nat

[@FloridaandBeyond]

@@OffOurCouch I don't know if it was a muesum. It was their actual training grounds in Panama City. It looked awesome!

[@Lened11]

Excellent video. I must put this on my list to visit next time I visit Pensacola.

[@OffOurCouch]

Thanks so much and thanks for watching! It’s definitely a museum worth visiting! ~Nat

[@blchamblisscscp8476]

My family and I visited probably 20 years ago. I remember it being a great experience. My greatest fascination was with the flying boats, particularly the open cockpit round-the-world plane. This museum is almost comparable to the Udvar-Hazy Annex in Chantilly, VA, (Dulles Airport) in terms of aircraft on exhibit.

[@OffOurCouch]

Ooh 😮 I’ve never heard of that exhibit in Virginia! We’ll have to put that on the list to check out. Thanks for telling us about it and thanks for watching!~ Nat

[@OmnielCapote]

This video is a must for anyone planning a visit. Great job.

[@OffOurCouch]

Thank you so much and thanks for watching! ~Nat

[@ronaldgarnes8809]

Well Done, very informative

[@OffOurCouch]

Thank you! We’re glad you enjoyed the tour. Thanks for watching too~ Nat

Just an hour and a half from nearby Mobile, we frequent Naval Aviation Pensacola. The Blue Angels practice there most every Tuesday and Wednesday from March through October - check their schedule posted online.

[@OffOurCouch]

We haven’t had the chance to visit during their practice season but it looks like we may be coming in the spring so we can catch a practice finally! We’ll definitely check the schedule! Thank you for watching too~ Nat

Wow, that’s incredible. Thank you for your service. Thanks for watching too~ Nat

I was there before 2007 and yes the museum is bigger than I thought. I spent most of my time on the ground floor of the museum. I can understand why you’re son was a bit overwhelmed even for an aircraft nerd like myself there is a lot to take in. I do recommend the cafe bar and the food was good. They really do have the (West pac) plaques that list the ships and navy carrier air wings that participated in those Cold War exercises, I don’t know of any other place that civilians get to see that kind of stuff. I think at the time i got a drink refill it’s good idea hydrate it was hot that day before leaving the cafe and museum its Florida. I like your idea of grabbing a map and “zoning it out” to see what you want to see by interest. Wished i could have stayed overnight closer to that area alas I had a larger family trip. I do remember having gone to other military museums on bases the security requirements differ from time to time check with the museums web site or call ahead and find out so you can spend more time at the museum.

[@OffOurCouch]

The cafe was something that we definitely wished we could have tried while we were there. Also, the simulation rides upstairs. It is so huge! I do agree staying somewhere close overnight and being able to spend more time at the museum would be great. Thanks so much for the additional insight and information and thanks for watching! ~ Nat

[@timothywalker4563]

No problem. Your video brought back a wonderful afternoon with my mom. It’s good to see a mother broadening her child’s horizons that there is a big world out there and its meant to be experienced 😉

[@delaunfifield3490]

can I go to the museum WITHOUT being formal military? When did this change?

[@OffOurCouch]

Yes, you can! It changed recently because we were unable to go in 2022 without being accompanied by someone who was military or DOD. When we went last year, the museum was open to the public 😊 Thanks for watching~ Nat

[@delaunfifield3490]

@@OffOurCouch That is OUTSTANDING to hear!! My wife & I have been wanting to return since a trip we did almost 15 years ago. We spent 2 FULL days touring this great attraction. Well worth the trip!

[@VaderisOne]

My dad had a condo at Mirabella for man years and I would get to take the family down for a week each year and we would go to the museum every year. Looks like it has changed some as it would every year just a little. I thought it was cool that the floor in the WW2 area is the deck from the aircraft carrier that G.H.W. Bush flew off of during the war. The walk down main st. Is very cool too. If you go, go w or someone or kids that do not want to spend all day

[@OffOurCouch]

Those are some interesting details about the museum that we missed! There’s so much to see and experience there! It’s cool that you had the chance to go multiple times. Thanks so much for sharing your experiences and for watching~ Nat

[@bennyrutledge4454]

The Cubi Point "O" Club in the Philippines was dismantled and re-assembled in the Museum. All visiting Squadrons left their Insignia on the walls. A historic Club to have lunch in. Highly recommend a visit.

[@OffOurCouch]

Sounds like a must-do! We’ll definitely need to fit it in and make lunch a priority next visit. Thanks for watching! ~ Nat

[@Militeripedia]

Nice Video, really love it

[@OffOurCouch]

Thank you so much and thanks for watching~ Nat

[@Florida_fishenthusiasts747]

The oar house is the best restaurant in Pensacola , I caught a redfish beneath it

[@OffOurCouch]

Cool, we’ll have to check that out! We’re heading back to Pensacola too! Thanks for the recommendation and thanks for watching~ Nat

[@337foxfire]

I’ve been every year for the past ten years.

[@OffOurCouch]

Oh wow, that’s amazing! You’re a regular then!! Thanks so much for watching too~ Nat
