The National Museum of the United States Air Force now has an interactive map of the over 700 memorials in their Memorial Park. For those who prefer an old school approach, the 366th Fighter Association website has a scan of a static version.

The Intrepid Museum has also gone with the interactive map approach. However, you can still view the base maps, which are similar to the examples mentioned in a previous post, individually without the annotations:

There's also an "Artifact Plan" from a page on the Perkins & Will website that shows a proposed map.

The Kent Battle of Britain Museum has replaced the map mentioned in a previous post with an updated version on a page on their website with a few minor changes.

The China Aviation Museum was mentioned in a previous post, but there is apparently also an aerial view from a brochure that has been uploaded to a page on Ruud Leeuw's website.

A picture of a map of the Pima Air & Space Museum from October 2012 was a mentioned in a previous post. Apparently, the museum is fond of light blue paper, as a similar map from February 2008 is also available on a page on Ruud Leeuw's website.

Finally, the Sullenberger Aviation Museum included a drawing in a blog post showing not only how their A320 was moved into its new hangar, but also the overall layout of the site.

I had the opportunity to visit the Pioneer Air Museum in June and took this picture of a map of their storage locations:

While looking for information to aid in editing the area around the Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre on OpenStreetMap, I ended up looking at parcels on the Marlborough District Council website via their GIS map. This lead to a search result for property number PN537841 with "resource content application" that enclosed a copy of the museum's master plan with a number of very useful maps showing, among other things, the interior layout of the museum and their future plans:

Note that the Stage one northern extension to the WW1 display building hasn't happened. The WW2 Displays are in a third building (repeat of half of the WW1), with a little entrance shed on the North side. The Southern small hangars have been expanded East, but at the existing smaller size.
