Melvin joins Blue Angels
Today was a great day for Melvin. He finally got his leather flight jacket and goggles. In celebration we took several photos at the National Naval Aviation Museum. While there we reviewed a wonderful display of vintage aircraft dating back to 1909. Not only is this a must see if you are in the Pensacola area, it's FREE!
We spent about 5 hours there, but could have stayed for a couple days if we wanted to study every display in detail and take the guided tour. They also have an IMAX theater. We decided to see a 45 minute film on the construction of the western portion of the Canadian railroad. What a way to experience the beauty of the rugged peaks in the Canadian Rockies.
From I-10 exit 7 it's less than 20 minutes to the parking lot. Just past the museum is the Pensacola light house. If you up to climbing over 150 steps, the view should be worth it.
As we left the Naval base we noticed a sign for another attraction. Fort Barrancas. Maybe tomorrow. So much to do here .
