East Coast American Road Trip Advice

[Mike Whitehead]

Hello All

In summer I’m taking a driving holiday that will take me from New York down to Washington DC via Philadelphia, looking for your advice on any decent Aviation Museums or Model Shops that you could recommend?

Much Appreciated

Mike

I don’t know any model shops but the Udvar-Hazy Centre at Washington Dulles is an absolute must.

You might find that some of the more ‘local’ airfields on your route could have branches of the Confederate Airforce. They tend to be smaller but always worth a look.

By USA standards that's a rather short road trip
Well worth watching is the film https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1153075/

Visited Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in Washington way back in the '90s, thoroughly enjoyed it - if I remember correctly there were also some models in the collection.
