The penultimate museum visited on this Boston to Florida trip.

After the 114 noted at Warner Robbins, Polk City, Fantasy of flight museum produced 168. Like Warner, I have written to our guide and hope that he can confirm our outstanding.

Whilst closed to the public, the museum does allow private tours, the information and prices for these can be found on the museum website.

Having only seen a few of the aircraft from the outside when I visited in 2014, I was very happy to pay the tour cost. We were taken to all parts of the facility, including the storage area’s.
Our guide had worked here for many years and his knowledge was amazing. Added with anecdotal stores of events gone by, it was a very interesting and enjoyable experience. Highly recommended by our group of five…

My outstanding or items that require confirmation are marked with *** with a photo link.
