Where is the Outdoor Aviation and Ship Museum downtown??

My goodness - this would be such a slam dunk it's not even funny. Three planes and two ships.

F-14 Tomcat
PBY Catalina
A concept plane

USS Charles Adams
A spanish Galleon or other tall sail ship

Put it right on the river - Flex space, JEA site? By the stadium?

Heritage Park is so far removed from the public eye people hardly have any idea it's there.

Southbank seems like it would be a nice place to place this.. Near the former site of the Southside Generating Station?

I have heard of Heritage Park but not sure I have been to it.. Id have to see a picture..

Off topic just a little... Floridas historic photograph collection is extensive... I had no idea just how extensive, and even worse , I had no idea of the number of buildings that were razed , that I had no idea about.... IE  Duval High/Grammar School  #1  which was eerily similar to Annie Lytle, but appeared to be either 3 full stories, or the Basement was utilized ..  I have no idea where this school was located..  I was actually trying to find some photograph of Annie when she was in use..and still have had no luck.. but I copied a number of very similar School Houses in various places in Florida... When I can figure out how to paste all of these pictures to a thread, I will.. It seems Neoclassic was combined with Doric in a lot of examples..

Anyway....back to topic...

Because you probably can't get on base.

Heritage park would be so much nicer if it were off-base so the rest of us civvies could enjoy it. It's like a year round static air show.

But you can get on base if you want.

I think a park like this would be a great tourist draw.  If would be nice if the boat had was large enough to have the deckspace for a plane or two.

This is the kind of stuff that - if we had a weekly drive time radio show - we could talk about it and get commuters to call in and talk about it. Word would spread and action might follow.
