Review №1

Originally, this airport was part of the Brunswick Naval Air Station, where my father was stationed during the Korean War as part of the weather ballon unit.While my home state of Georgia hasnt been my actual home since I was an 8-year-old third grader in Ft. Oglethorpe, Georgia. I frequently visit Georgia and have and have had family there on both my fathers and mothers side.BRUNSWICK is where we had planned to hold a family reunion this past August, which was postponed due to he ongoing COVID-19 pandemic., and we had planned to have all the family reunion attendees visit the BNA Museum.Therefore, 2020 was not only a very significant election, the January 5, 2021 runoff election,deciding the control of the country, makes my connections to this place in Georgia actually very personal., and significant for my own history and family legacy.I was born in Brunswick GA, 67 years ago ( as of Nov 2020) since my still teenage parents moved there. Shortly after their Halloween wedding on October 31, 1953, my dad was transferred to the Brunswick Naval Air Station, for which this museum was created to commemorate.My mother, an 18-year-old high school homecoming queen, Rebecca, and her high school sweetheart and co-captain of their small rural high school’s football team, Jerry, were my late parents. My parents, both from Cave City, KY, were stationed at Brunswick Naval Air Station from 1052-1954, where I was born.

Great! A nice collection and wonderful volunteers. Consider the value of visiting a fiends house and having a conversation over a single special and interesting artifact. Now consider this museum with many items that are priceless and carefully collected objects from people in the community. and the volunteers there to tell you a story about it.Add to that their flight simulator and other displays and collected items and the large planes out front. Very worth visiting!They have the room, ambition, and a team of loyal dedicated volunteers to grow.

Very interesting. Commander Locke made our visit memorable and Ben got the flight simulator operational for which my brother Maury was very excited. I hope more people visit and donate items to help in their effort to have a great museum.

Pleasant staff & a growing collection of memories and impact to this area - like how beneficial it was for our counties, country and for each other. I really appreciate it the potential growth of the place and it was a ton of fun flying the plane simulator
