Never been there.

Best museums that I have been to though are the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum, The Sinsheim Museum, and the Deutsches Museum

I believe that most of them were sold when the museum went under and were distrubuted around the country. I am afraid I never got to see it myself.

DerAld, have you ever been to Duxford?

As Glider is probably suggesting in his post, Duxford is a stand-out museum to visit.I also thought Hendon was also well worth a visit if you are in London.

I've been to the Smithsonian and the Air Force museum at WPAFB. The Smithsonian has the most historical aircraft and the AF has many wonderful aircraft (including two in which I was on the design team, B-2, the one there is a ground test aircraft, and Tacit Blue). But the best musuem for presentation that I have ever seen is the Naval Air Museum in Pensacola. They have constructed a partial aircraft carrier deck inside, four A-4 Blue Angels in formation suspended from the ceiling, and a full scale diarama of two aircraft as they lay at the bottem of lake Michigan, which includes the two planes actually recovered, unrestored. If you get a chance, drop by Pensacola, see a great museum, eat some of the worlds greatest seafood and visit some of worlds most beautiful beaches. Go in the Spring before the heat and hurricanes.

One of these days I want to get to England (been there once visiting wife's relatives in Liecester) and see the Imperial War Museum, the HMS Victory, Mary Rose, etc., etc. I love England. You can almost read the language. "Mind your head"! We say that in an equally arcane manner "watch your head".

Where is the fleet air arm musuem?

Speaking of simulator, the Naval Air Musuem has a motion base similator that takes you on an F-18 ride from a carrier to strike and return. And, it has some simple simulators they use for student pilots (probably initiation) which, if you have some experience, you can practice landing on a carrier.

Okay the Sinnsheim Museum here in Germany has about 100 - 150 aircraft including Fw-190s, Me-262s, Bf-109s, Spitfire, Hurricanes, B-17, C-47, Me-163, Ju-52 and much much more but just so that I can top you here it has not only a Concorde it also has the Russian version of it, I think it was called the Tu-144(?)
