Polk City, which is between Orland and Tampa on the main highway. It was very reasonably priced 25 dollars each and we expected to send a couple of hours there but in fact we stayed till closing time and still didn't have enough time.
The History of flight was told from its earliest beginnings with displays of hot air balloons. The role aviation played in the First World War was highlighted with displays depicting the trenches in France. Next we moved on to the time between the wars and then on to the Second World War with a wide collection of aircraft (both British and American) and an explanation of their roles in warfare. One of my favuorite exhibits was The Sunderland Flying Boat which is currently valued at $1,000,000.
and landing were a little bumpy but all in all it was great.I can well believe that this museum is the Number 1 best kept secret as voted by Sentinal readers.
After our flight there was only time for a last look round and a play on a few of the simulators, before it was time to return to International Drive for supper and a last swim in the pool before bed.
