National Naval Aviation Museum
We decided on a day trip to visit the National Naval Aviation Museum at Naval Air (NAS) Station Pensacola.
NAS Pensacola is home to the US Navy Blue Angels flight exhibition team.
The Air Museum features historical naval aircraft from the WWI to present day.

The Cockpits
The Museum features many open cockpits that Rich sat in - very fun!
Chevalier Field
Chevalier Field was the original non-seaplane aircraft landing area at Naval Air Station Pensacola, Florida.
Its rotating beacon signaled aircraft from the top of the control tower.

Going Home
As we entered the Pensacola airport to depart, we noticed signs for the 2019 Pensacon - a Comic Con event that was to be held in Pensacola.
The signage at the airport was interesting.
