Alaska Aviation Museum

Alaska Aviation Museum

The Alaska Aviation Museum in Anchorage Alaska, just outside of a seaplane port (and with its own nice tower for viewing the seaplanes) is a really nice museum with an impressive collection of aircraft.  Anyone in the Anchorage area who has a fondness for aircraft, or who might simply wonder about the close connection between modern Alaska and the airplane, ought to pay it a visit. Well worth seeing.

Perhaps  because of the size of this entry, which actually is a blog mirror entry on this site, it consistently takes up a whole page on the Areodrome.  I have no idea why really, but its frustrating as it looks like the last page on the blog. 

It isn't.  There are other entries after this one.  I.e., older entries.  If you enjoy this site, don't stop here!
