The Pensacola NAS Museum is a real jewel. It's also the home of the Blue Angels Navy fighter demonstration team. During the winter months they train over the Gulf and have frequent shows off shore next to the museum.
Another really great treat is just down the I-10 near Mobile. The USS Alabama Battleship Park has sights you will never see elsewhere. The battleship USS Alabama, of course is open for tours. Berthed next to that is the submarine USS Drum. Then, there is the aviation museum. There are 28 warbirds nesting inside. This includes the original stealth plane, A-12 Blackbird, and the amazing B-52 Strato-Fortress.
