Aviation Museums within the USA (grouped by state)

The listings are grouped by states and in alphabetical order — a two letter post office abbreviation is used for the state in the address. There are quite a few military bases that have excellent aviation displays and, since they require either a military ID or an escort, so I have not included these.

September 2012: the USA is a large country with much in the way of aviation history — 200+ museums with three newly opened museums this year — yet the states of  West Virginia and Mississippi each lack even a single dedicated aviation museum, though each has a museum in part dedicated to aviation.

Museums that are on ships or where ships are present are listed in this color (5 aircraft carriers and 2 battleships).
