If you are looking for a unique place to spend a day, look no further than Hurlburt Field Memorial Air Park.

This memorial air park is home to many vintage World War II aircraft. Non-military personnel are restricted from visiting the airfield since 9-11, so you must obtain a sponsor to get on the installation.

It is also home to the U.S. Air Force Armament Museum, which has a wide variety of weapons and interactive displays. Aside from displaying military aircraft, visitors can also see the Navy Blue Angels flying team.

During World War II, Hurlburt Field was an important missile testing base. A missile developed at this site nearly started a war during the Cuban Missile Crisis, but an F-4 shot down the missile and stopped it from hitting Cuba. After the war, Hurlburt Field Air Force Base became the only place in the world to train special operations personnel. More
