If you had to make a list of must-see aviation museums to visit, what would be your recommendations and why?
I love aviation museums. Something no one really talks about is the smell of old airplanes. I’d say it’s a fairly underrated aspect of these places. reddit.com/gallery/rlxock
Paid a visit to the Glenn L Martin Aviation Museum today. Thought maybe some of you might appreciate some of the photos I captured. reddit.com/gallery/r8zdht
Built in 1939, holes have rusted through the ceiling over the years, putting priceless aircraft at risk of exposure to the harsh elements being let in. There’s also the constant threat of damage by water, birds, and high winds. The Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum needs to raise $4 million warbirdsnews.com/aviation…

We start this new week with the latest update about the restoration of the Dakota Territory Air Museum’s P-47D Thunderbolt (s/n 42-27609) at AirCorps Aviation warbirdsnews.com/warbird-…
Beech C-45 Expeditor. This example manufactured in 1942 as an AT-7 trainer, then converted to C-45 configuration after World War II. One of those aircraft that don’t hold the same amount of glory as a P-51 but still were valuable assets during the war. Under restoration, Evergreen Aviation Museum.

Went to the RAAFA heritage museum in Bull Creek today, wasn't disappointed! Great access to many historical aircraft (Vietnam era Huey, my favorite!) and tons of aviation memorabilia.

This came from the back of a cupboard in an aviation museum. It's been sectioned so you can see how it works. There appear to be two pumps or compressors, one at a fixed angle, the other is variable. The Allen key (hex) fixings could be a later addition. reddit.com/gallery/o0na7m
