Military Aviation Museum

Located in a hangar beside a small airstrip in the strawberry fields south of the rural crossroads of Pungo, this surprisingly good museum houses a fine collection of historic military aircraft, all in mint condition and all but three of which can still fly. If you are lucky, someone will roll out a World War II-vintage P51 Mustang, P40 Flying Tiger, or RAF Spitfire and take off. You cannot fly with them, but you can climb into a P51 simulator and feel what it's like to zoom around up there. When they're not flying them, staffers and volunteers stay busy restoring other craft. Rather than drive here, you ride the museum's double-decker bus from the Oceanfront from May through October. Call for bus reservations.
