For all of you who have kids who need to learn about "WW Eleven" (World War II) visit DNAS Museum as soon as possible. The docents are great and the collection is incredible. TOMCAT to Avenger to PTBoat it is all great. Free but DONATE!
As a pilot I spent about 2 hours talking with one of the staff in particular, Captain Chuck. His knowledge about aviation, his stories, and his experiences are just mindblowing.
Wonderful historic site and memorabilia. Should be required class for school children.
Really great place full of history and the person there explained everything ton of great things to see as well as a decommissioned Tomcat jet and a Vietnam era PT Boat, If you like military history you will love this place defiantly worth the time to see.
I highly encourage any and all pilots/WW2 history enthusiasts to check out this hidden gem in the Deland airport. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!
As a WW2 Aircraft enthusiast, I absolutely loved this place! They have an F-14 Tomcat on display in all it's decommissioned glory which you can look really up close and personal. They also have a TBF Avenger they are currently restoring which they'll gladly let you see. Aside from the aircraft the museum staff are (I believe) all WW2 veterans.
People there are so nice and full of history. They can all tell you about there time in the Navy or other military, working with planes and boats. They are awesome!
