The National Naval Aviation Museum is a military and aerospace museum dedicated to the history of naval aviation, including that of the United States Navy, the United States Marine Corps, and the United States Coast Guard.
The Museum’s mission is to collect, preserve, and exhibit aspects of the development and historical heritage of United States Naval Aviation.
Over 150 aircraft and spacecraft are on display, including historic and one-of-a-kind aircraft both inside the Museum’s exhibit space and outside on the Museum’s 37-acre (150,000 m2) grounds.
Adjacent to the Museum is the National Flight Academy, a four-story simulated aircraft carrier housing over 30 networked flight simulators.
Practice demonstrations by the United States Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron, the Blue Angels, may be viewed from the Museum on scheduled days that are promoted on the Blue Angels’ website.
