National Museum of Naval Aviation
NAS Pensacola, FL, USA
This aviation museum is located in NAS Pensacola. We need to obtain a parking permit at a base gate. NAS Pensacola has two gates. However, one of them is sometimes closed for public due to a security reason. It would be better to confirm the gates available beforehand.
The admission is free. Although they do not have up-to-date fighters in the museum building, so many warbirds are there in good condition. Unfortunately, we can find a few leaks in the roof and some airplanes suffer for the leaking rain. Veterans bring us to the apron next to the building by bus where other warbirds are displayed.
McDonnell Douglas A-4 Skyhawk
US Navy Blue Angels' A-4s are hung from the ceiling in formation. The A-4 is one of my favorite. These A-4s were employed because fuel consumption needed to be reduced due to the oil crisis in 1970s. NAS Pensacola is famous as the home base of the Blue Angels.

The A-7E was used in Gulf War, but has retired from the US Navy. A refueling probe is extended in the right side of the cockpit. The wings are folded as the airplane is on an aircraft carrier.
