Pensacola - FL

Pensacola, FL
We are now in Robertsdale, AL which is between Pensacola, FL and Mobile, AL. Sue has former classmate who reside in Pensacola with her husband. On Friday, January 29, we went into Pensacola and milled around the old historic district visiting the local Archeological Museum. We then met with Pete and Maryann Federovich at a lovely restaurant which looks over Pensacola Bay called the Fish House. Peter was a retired Navy man. He and Maryann had traveled extensively on military hops as their family was growing up and it made for an interesting night of good conversation.
National Naval Aviation Museum is located on the Navy Air Station in Pensacola. The museum is over 300,000 square feet with more than 150 aircrafts indoors. The Blue Angels are based here but were currently in CA for training purposes. The tour that we took was given by a retired military person in his 80’s and he did an outstanding job explaining the involvement of aircraft from the beginning to now with the Navy. This is the type of museum that you could go back to time and time again. The planes and artifacts are displayed in a manner that most items can be touched and handled by visitors. If you are ever in the area, you should set aside time to visit this museum.
