There is a Naval Air Museum at the Pensacola Naval Air Station. It’s a fun place to visit!

I'm going to my grandma's in Orlando for Thanksgiving. On the way down or the way back, I might have to re-route through Pensacola if it's feasible.

I think I've seen more SR-71/YF-12s on display then there are currently active -- but I don't think the Navy ever used those (hard to imagine launching one off a carrier).

We used to vacation on Perdido Key, and we'd go every year to watch the Blue Angels at the Pensacola Naval Air Station. They practiced on Tuesdays, and they allowed the public to watch their sessions. It's better than an air show, because you don't have to battle hugh crowds to enjoy it!

Hurricane Ivan destroyed their facilities in 2004, so if they've moved back, I don't know on what day they do their thing, now. Call before you go to check on that.
