If you're a fan of vintage flying machines and their restoration, this working museum displays and restores aircraft from the World War II through Vietnam eras. Owner Tom Reilly offers guided tours through a museum full of hands-on exhibits. The outdoor showroom includes changing exhibits of birds that have been or are being restored, such as a 1909 Martin M-1, a 1944 B-17 Flying Fortress, a 1944 P-38 Lightning, and a 1965 MIG 21. Plan on spending 2 hours. It's interesting, and a must for aviation buffs, but the show here is almost entirely visual. Fantasy of Flight offers more to do.

If you want to taste the real deal, Warbird Adventures, 233 N. Hoagland Blvd., Kissimmee, FL (tel. 800/386-1593 or 407/870-7366; www.warbirdadventures.com), will take you skyward in a World War II fighter-trainer for sightseeing or aerobatic flights.
