I happened to come across this this morning on the Internet looking for something else, it's only 1.5 hours away from the house so I grabbed the kids and went.

It's a small place with 10 aircraft and 2 cockpit sections, but it was fairly nice.

Last 2 pics are of the Busts of the Preddy brothers, it was a nice little area dedicated to them (from North Carolina).

If you are in the area, it's worth the visit and as a wonderful bonus it's free. Unless you happen to have kids and must pass by their gift shope on the way out.
 
Isn't it amazing the types of planes the Are available for museums. Seems the museum has a great bunch of passionate people involved. What a nice display of model aircraft as well. The nice thing about a model display is types not available, examples can be displayed. Good job by all. Thanks for the post. Bill
 
OK, it might be small, but I get the impression that they are not averse to opening up the cockpits for 'Joe Public' to get in and see how the front office looks like.

Thats a pretty cool set of piccies mate and it looks like the 'little'uns 'enjoyed themselves as well.

Many thanks for sharing !
