You may remember there was some discussion recently about creating museums lists for the WRG...
http://warbirdinformationexchange.org/p ... 31&start=0
... I said I would start by creating a list of the Ontario museums and submit. I have included this list below.
I gave up, trying to find links into Google Maps and other similar services so a link could be provided to the site of the museum. Instead I just included the geographic coordinates. Those can be used in most mapping programs.
Scott: Let me know if you think this format might be useful. If so I will start on the list for North Carolina (after I accomplish a few other things first).
