Re: Aviation to Visit in Florida
Many moons ago (mid 90's)I went to the Valiant Air Command Museum at Titusville, can't remember much about it apart from chatting to a USAF B-17 Gunner who was stationed near Norwich.

THE Best Museum in Florida is at Pensacola.......but it's 450 miles West of Orlando!

It depends upon what you want to see, Titusville is very good as is the Museum at Tamiami, Polk City is closed which is a shame, take at look at its website to check when it opens. There is a facility for the Collins Foundation at New Smynra Beach, who are very friendly and then there is Lakeland. Don't forget Kissamee, for the museum and the P 51s again very friendly, did these in 2013
Hope this helps
