pljnx, if you ever find yourself in Pensacola, Fl., the US Navy Aviation museum is by far the best one I have ever been to. We have The Mighty Eight Museum here in Savannah, very good but you can do it in an afternoon. I have been to the Air and Space museum in Washington D.C. but none of them compare to the one in Pensacola.

And a taste of what is inside:

The place is frigging huge and if you go on a holiday or a weekend, crowded. You can do it in a day by skimming through exhibits if you get there early when it opens, but it is best to do it over 2 full committed days. Worth the trip. Just thought I would share.
