Air Force Armament Museum
A free museum beside Eglin Air Force Base, with more than twenty aircraft outdoors, including the SR-71 Blackbird.
The Air Force Armament Museum sits outside the gate of Eglin Air Force Base and is free to enter. Indoors, it displays bombs, missiles, guns and precision-guided weapons from World War I to the present. Outdoors on the apron, more than twenty aircraft are on display, including the SR-71 “Blackbird” reconnaissance plane, the B-52 bomber, the F-15 and the F-16. It suits military and aviation enthusiasts and takes about 1 to 1.5 hours to see everything. It is about 20 minutes' drive from Destin or Fort Walton Beach, and you do not need to enter the base.
