Museum Locator

Thu Sep 14, 2006 12:08 pm

I created a locator for the aviation sites I have visited...
http://www.aerialvisuals.ca/Locator.html

It includes links to photo albums and coordinates for map programs to you can get directions.

If you were planning a trip would you find this sort of list useful?

I decided to create this list after a discussion here on WIX about 6-9 months ago. Other priorities kept me from working on it, but I have found time here and there over the last week to finish it off.

You've got a duplicate entry in the michigan section for the Yankee Air Museum. You've got us in Belleville and Kalamazoo. I think you meant to put the entry to the K-zoo air zoo there (unless there was a hostile takeover that i didn't hear about :lol: ).

Tennessee Museum

Hey Mike, how about Tennessee Museum of Aviation located in Sevierville, Tennessee just east of Knoxville www.tnairmuseum.com
take a look at the web site for the list of aircraft, the only Matched Pair of P-47 Thunderbolts in the World, TBM Avenger, etc, etc...

Not that I am not interested, but I am going to pass. As I indicated in the preamble on the page, I am scoping it to museums I have visited to keep the list to managable size. That way I can also guarantee the coordinates are accurate since I have been to those sites. However, if I get a chance to travel to Tennesee...

Actually Mint I think I will change my mind on that one. If you can provide the coorindates of the front door of the museum (use Google Maps or Google Earth) and a short 1 or 2 sentence description of the museum I will make an entry.

The same goes for anyone else that would like their museum to be included in the list. I would also like the list to include things like pole mounted aircraft that you find in parks, etc. The information I am looking for is...
Country
Province / State / Region
City
Coordinates (example 44 18 06.99 N 77 47 27.37 W)
Short Description - 1 or 2 sentences - may be as simple as "F-86 on a pole in a park."
