Explore the National Naval Aviation Museum (NNAM) in Pensacola, Florida, with a knowledgeable docent! Join our special, RSVP-only, private guided tour and delve into the fascinating history of naval aviation, from its early beginnings to modern marvels. Learn about the pilots, vessels and aircraft, that helped shape the development and growth of modern naval warfare and aviation technology. You will have the opportunity to examine restored military aircraft dating from the early days of WWI through today, inspect space vehicles on loan from the Smithsonian, and dive deep into the history of the US Navy and modern carrier operations as you tour and explore this world-famous museum.

Additionally, the NNAM features interactive exhibits, flight simulators, and a giant IMAX theater, making it one of Pensacola's most popular must-see attractions. Enjoy a meal or snack at the Cubi Bar Café after your tour, and browse the museum's Flight Deck Store gift shop for the perfect souvenir or memento to commemorate your visit. You may also choose to stay in Pensacola a few extra days if your schedule allows to see the Navy's Blue Angels aerobatic team in action as they practice their flight demonstration routine above the Pensacola Lighthouse.     

You won’t want to miss this great opportunity to experience both the National Naval Aviation Museum and the Pensacola Lighthouse & Maritime Museum during the FLA’s 2025 Spring Membership Meeting weekend! The NNAM and PL&MM share a common link to the Navy and its history. While the NNAM focuses on the evolution of naval aviation, the PL&MM highlights the maritime history and heritage of the Pensacola area, including its naval connection. After you visit the Lighthouse and the Aviation Museum, you will come away with a better understanding of Pensacola’s Naval and maritime history!

The tour is limited to only the first 40 registrants of the FLA 2025 Spring Membership Meeting, hosted by the Pensacola Lighthouse & Maritime Museum, on a first-come, first-served basis. This tour is provided free of charge, but advance reservations are required to participate.
